Art is what is irresistible.
William Saroyan

William Saroyan

One day in the afternoon of the world, glum death will come and sit in you, and when you get up to walk, you will be as glum as death, but if you're lucky, this will only make the fun better and the love greater.
William Saroyan

The basic truth of all things, as nearly as we may ever dream of determining and knowing this truth, is form, that which is, as it is. The way and shape of the thing no less than the thing itself.
William Saroyan
Image
All things lie dark in possibility.

The people you hate, well, this is the question about such people: why do you hate them?
William Saroyan
Image
Everything and everybody is sooner or later identified, defined, and put in perspective. The truth as always is simultaneously better and worse than what the popular myth-making has it.
William Saroyan
Image
The best thing we have is sleep, of course, and what is sleep except the putting aside of everything tentative for another interval of final and everlasting truth? Sleep isn't dying, but it is certainly keeping in tough with it.
William Saroyan
Image
Every man is correct in asking God why he is stuck with himself, and his rotten luck.
William Saroyan
Image
Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.
William Saroyan
Image
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

What is a street? It is where the living weep, where the dead go off in silence to their peace.
