More quotes by William Saroyan
The whole world and every human being in it is everybody's business.
William Saroyan
Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart.
William Saroyan
Yes, the idiot is indeed the good man, but only because he doesn't know any better.
William Saroyan
It takes a lot of rehearsing for a man to be himself.
William Saroyan
I cannot see the war as historians see it. Those clever fellows study all the facts and they see the war as a large thing, one of the biggest events in the legend of the man, something general, involving multitudes.
William Saroyan
But who can speak to God, or rather who can't? The question is, who can get an answer?
William Saroyan
What is a street? It is where the living weep, where the dead go off in silence to their peace.
William Saroyan
Everything alive is part of each of us, and many things which do not move as we move are part of us. The sun is part of us, the earth, the sky, the stars, the rivers, and the oceans. All things are part of us, and we have come here to enjoy them and to thank God for them.
William Saroyan
Of course if you like your kids, if you love them from the moment they begin, you yourself begin all over again, in them, with them, and so there is something more to the world again.
William Saroyan
Every artist is in everything he creates, and indeed if the truth is told, every person is in his life, in his work, whatever his work may be, and this is visible in his face, figure, stance, movement, and totality.
William Saroyan
All writers are discontent. That's because they're aware of a potential and believe they're not reaching it.
William Saroyan
Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
William Saroyan
Of all the things I love to taste, sweetest is the kiss of love.
William Saroyan
Jack Benny had style from the beginning. He stood straight and walked kind of sideways as if he were being gently shoved by a touch of genius.
William Saroyan
I love the bicycle. I always have. I can think of no sincere, decent human being, male or female, young or old, saintly or sinful, who can resist the bicycle.
William Saroyan
I began to write in the first place because I expected everything to change, and I wanted to have things in writing the way they had been. Just a little things, of course. A little of my little.
William Saroyan
Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case.
William Saroyan
I believe in anything that works.
William Saroyan
My work is writing, but my real work is being.
William Saroyan
If you're alive, you can't be bored in San Francisco. If you're not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life......San Francisco is a world to explore. It is a place where the heart can go on a delightful adventure. It is a city in which the spirit can know refreshment every day.
William Saroyan
