More quotes by William Saroyan
My work has always been the product of my time.
William Saroyan
I don't have a name and I don't have a plot. I have the typewriter and I have white paper and I have me, and that should add up to a novel.
William Saroyan
Sunday is the day people go quietly mad, one way or another.
William Saroyan
It is a pity, in my opinion, that no prize exists for the writer who best refrains from adding to the world's bad books.
William Saroyan
I saw rich beggars and poor beggars, proud beggars and humble beggars, fat beggars and thin beggars, healthy beggars and sick beggars, whole beggars and crippled beggars, wise beggars and stupid beggars. I saw amateur beggars and professional beggars. A professional beggar is a beggar who begs for a living.
William Saroyan
If you give to a thief he cannot steal from you, and he is no longer a thief.
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
Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.
William Saroyan
People is all everything is, all it has ever been, all it can ever be.
William Saroyan
I can't hate for long. It isn't worth it.
William Saroyan
This is what drives a young writer out of his head, this feeling that nothing is being said.
William Saroyan
Even after you've won fame and fortune, every time you write you've got to write, there's no shortcut, you have to start your career all over again.
William Saroyan
Of all the things I love to taste, sweetest is the kiss of love.
William Saroyan
There could be no extreme vanity in my recognition of myself, if in fact there could be any at all.
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
Babies who have not yet been taught to speak any language are the only race of the earth, the race of man: all the rest is pretence, what we call civilization, hatred, fear, desire for strength.
William Saroyan
What is a street? It is where the living weep, where the dead go off in silence to their peace.
William Saroyan
Remember that every man is a variation of yourself
William Saroyan
A man's ethnic identity has more to do with a personal awareness than with geography.
William Saroyan
I'm not the kind of guy to knock at a door and then when the door is opened not go in.
William Saroyan
