More quotes by William Saroyan
The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.
William Saroyan
The order I found was the order of disorder
William Saroyan
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
William Saroyan
Cowards are nice, they're interesting, they're gentle, they wouldn't think of shooting down people in a parade from a tower. They want to live, so they can see their kids. They're very brave.
William Saroyan
In the time of your life, live-so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches.
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 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

San Francisco is a world to explore. It is a place where the heart can go on a delightful adventure.
William Saroyan
I see life as one life at one time, so many millions simultaneously, all over the earth.
William Saroyan
The basic truth of all things, as nearly as we may ever dream of determining and knowing this truth, is form, that which is, as it is. The way and shape of the thing no less than the thing itself.
William Saroyan
I believe that time, with its infinite understanding, will one day forgive me.
William Saroyan
There could be no extreme vanity in my recognition of myself, if in fact there could be any at all.
William Saroyan
The role of art is to make a world which can be inhabited.
William Saroyan
I do not know what makes a writer, but it probably isn't happiness.
William Saroyan
Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
William Saroyan
What can a man do to move along in some kind of grace through his days and years?
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
No enemy is so annoying as one who was a friend, or still is a friend,and there are many more of these than one would suspect.
William Saroyan
The mad also laugh, or is that what Freud and the others discovered perhaps, that only the mad laugh?
William Saroyan
