More quotes by William Saroyan
Every man is correct in asking God why he is stuck with himself, and his rotten luck.
William Saroyan
Love doesn't have to be perfect. Even perfect, it is still the best thing there is, for the simple reason that it is the most common and constant truth of all, of all life, all law and order, the very thing which holds everything together, which permits everything to move along in time and be its wonderful or ordinary self.
William Saroyan
I never knew teachers are human beings like everybody else-- and better too!
William Saroyan
The bicycle is the noblest invention of mankind.
William Saroyan
You live and die according to what goes on in yourself, which no one else can even begin to know, not even father, mother, wife, son, or daughter.
William Saroyan
We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
William Saroyan
Every artist is in everything he creates, and indeed if the truth is told, every person is in his life, in his work, whatever his work may be, and this is visible in his face, figure, stance, movement, and totality.
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
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
Each book can make a life or a fragment of it more beautiful.
William Saroyan
Art is what is irresistible.
William Saroyan
We are not forced into unpleasant activities. We either allow them to come about or we encourage them to come about.
William Saroyan
All things lie dark in possibility.
William Saroyan
People is all everything is, all it has ever been, all it can ever be.
William Saroyan
The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.
William Saroyan
Sometimes the most intelligent thing is not to do anything, certainly nothing loaded with the imbecility of emotionality.
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 Tax Collector's letters are invariably mimeographed, and all they say is that you still haven't paid him.
William Saroyan
Sunday is the day people go quietly mad, one way or another.
William Saroyan
The role of art is to make a world which can be inhabited.
William Saroyan
