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.

More quotes by William Saroyan
It is simply in the nature of Armenian to study, to learn, to question, to speculate, to discover, to invent, to revise, to restore, to preserve, to make, and to give.
William Saroyan
How do you write? You write, man, you write, that's how, and you do it the way the old English walnut tree puts forth leaf and fruit every year by the thousands. . . . If you practice an art faithfully, it will make you wise, and most writers can use a little wising up.
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
Nobody, but nobody, is going to tell me I'm not the most. I am. I was the most when everybody else was struggling bitterly to become a little.
William Saroyan
Live, for this is the time of your life.
William Saroyan
There is a small area of land in Asia Minor that is called Armenia, but it is not so. It is not Armenia. It is a place. There are only Armenians, and they inhabit the earth, not Armenia, since there is no Armenia. There is no America and there is no England, and no France, and no Italy. There is only the earth.
William Saroyan
The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.
William Saroyan
Sunday is the day people go quietly mad, one way or another.
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
I took to writing at an early age to escape from meaninglessness, uselessness, unimportance, insignificance, poverty, enslavement, ill health, despair, madness, and all manner of other unattractive, natural and inevitable things.
William Saroyan
What can I tell you, except the stupid little I know?
William Saroyan
The Tax Collector's letters are invariably mimeographed, and all they say is that you still haven't paid him.
William Saroyan
Art is what is irresistible.
William Saroyan
A man's ethnic identity has more to do with a personal awareness than with geography.
William Saroyan
Christmas is sights, especially the sights of Christmas reflected in the eyes of a child.
William Saroyan
I can't hate for long. It isn't worth it.
William Saroyan
Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world.
William Saroyan
All writers are discontent. That's because they're aware of a potential and believe they're not reaching it.
William Saroyan
You write a hit play the same way you write a flop.
William Saroyan
All things lie dark in possibility.
William Saroyan
