William Saroyan
The writer who is a real writer is a rebel who never stops.
William Saroyan

The words I use are in English, the surroundings I write about are American, but the soul, which makes me write, is Armenian. This means I am an Armenian writer and deeply love the honor of being a part of the family of Armenian wrtiters.
William Saroyan

William Saroyan
Writers are a fascinating breed, because there are so many kinds of them, they are made by so many circumstances, conditions, and mysteries, and there are so many ways for writing to be done.
William Saroyan
The Tax Collector's letters are invariably mimeographed, and all they say is that you still haven't paid him.
William Saroyan
You write a hit play the same way you write a flop.
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
What can I tell you, except the stupid little I know?
William Saroyan

William Saroyan
The order I found was the order of disorder
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
We didn't say anything because there was such an awful lot to say, and no language to say it in.
William Saroyan
