More quotes by William Saroyan
The role of art is to make a world which can be inhabited.
William Saroyan
What can I tell you, except the stupid little I know?
William Saroyan
Americans still believe they are cut out to be successful-in everything: love, love-making, luck, luck-giving, money-making, sense-making, cancer-avoiding, clothes-wearing, car-driving, and so on.
William Saroyan
Armenag Saroyan. A good man of whom the worst that anybody was willing to say, was that he was too good for this world.
William Saroyan
I know you will remember this — that nothing good ever ends. If it did, there would be no people in the world — no life at all, anywhere. And the world is full of people and full of wonderful life.
William Saroyan
In the time of your life, live—so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.
William Saroyan
Genius is play, and man's capacity for achieving genius is infinite, and many may achieve genius only through play.
William Saroyan
No city invites the heart to come to life as San Francisco does. Arrival in San Francisco is an experience in living.
William Saroyan
San Francisco is a world to explore. It is a place where the heart can go on a delightful adventure.
William Saroyan
In the end, today is forever, yesterday is still today, and tomorrow is already today.
William Saroyan
But who can speak to God, or rather who can't? The question is, who can get an answer?
William Saroyan
There is little pride in writers. They know they are human and shall some day die and be forgotten. Knowing all this a writer is gentle and kindly where another man is severe and unkind.
William Saroyan
In the most commonplace, tiresome, ridiculous, malicious, coarse, crude, or even crooked people or events I had to seek out rare things, good things, comic things, and I did so.
William Saroyan
I believe that time, with its infinite understanding, will one day forgive me.
William Saroyan
All things lie dark in possibility.
William Saroyan
Indians are born with an instinct for riding, rowing, hunting, fishing, and swimming. Americans are born with an instinct for fooling around with machines.
William Saroyan
I don't think my writing is sentimental, although it is a very sentimental thing to be a human being.
William Saroyan
You may tend to get cancer from the thing that makes you want to smoke so much, not from the smoking itself.
William Saroyan
All writers are discontent. That's because they're aware of a potential and believe they're not reaching it.
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
