I have an idea that most of all he is running away from love, because it's too big and too demanding. He's running away from us--from you, from me, from his sister, from himself, too. Who wants to be himself, who wants to be so little, and so captured and limited?
William Saroyan

William Saroyan
The child race is fresh, eager, interested, innocent, imaginative, healthy and full of faith, where the adult race, more often than not, is stale, spiritually debauched, unimaginative, unhealthy, and without faith.
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
Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case.
William Saroyan
The order I found was the order of disorder
William Saroyan
We didn't say anything because there was such an awful lot to say, and no language to say it in.
William Saroyan
It is impossible not to notice that our world is tormented by failure, hate, guilt, and fear.
William Saroyan
