More quotes by William Saroyan

William Saroyan
But who can speak to God, or rather who can't? The question is, who can get an answer?

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
Sunday is the day people go quietly mad, one way or another.
William Saroyan
All of the sudden, he said, I feel different-- not like I ever felt before. Even when Papa died I didn't feel this way. In two days everything is changed. I'm lonely and I don't now what I'm lonely for
William Saroyan
Remember that every man is a variation of yourself
William Saroyan
The best that can be said for anybody is probably that you misunderstood him favorably.
William Saroyan
Everything and everybody is sooner or later identified, defined, and put in perspective. The truth as always is simultaneously better and worse than what the popular myth-making has it.
William Saroyan

William Saroyan
