What can I tell you, except the stupid little I know?

It takes a lot of rehearsing for a man to be himself.

How do you write? You write, m...

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 150 quotes

The purpose of writing is both...

The purpose of writing is both to keep up with life and to run ahead of it. I am little comfort to myself, although I am the only comfort I have, excepting perhaps streets, clouds, the sun, the faces and voices of kids and the aged, and similar accidents of beauty, innocence, truth and loneliness.

My work is writing, but my real work is being.

I'm not the kind of guy to knock at a door and then when the door is opened not go in.

Of all the things I love to taste, sweetest is the kiss of love.

William Saroyan 150 quotes

Although I write in English, and despite the fact that I'm from America, I consider myself an Armenian writer. 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 150 quotes

The child race is fresh, eager...

The child race is fresh, eager, interested, innocent, imaginative, healthy and full of faith, where the adult race, more often than not, is stale, spiritually debauched, unimaginative, unhealthy, and without faith.

William Saroyan 150 quotes

This is what drives a young writer out of his head, this feeling that nothing is being said.

When I began to wait to live I really began to wait to die.

William Saroyan 150 quotes

Babies who have not yet been t...

Babies who have not yet been taught to speak any language are the only race of the earth, the race of man: all the rest is pretence, what we call civilization, hatred, fear, desire for strength.

There's a pretty woman for ever lucky man in the world: every man in the world is a lucky man if he only knew it, so why waste time?

William Saroyan 150 quotes

What my children appear to be ...

What my children appear to be on the surface is no matter to me. I am fooled neither by gracious manners nor by bad manners. I am interested in what is truly beneath each kind of manners...I want my children to be people- each one separate- each one special- each one a pleasant and exciting variation of all the others

William Saroyan 150 quotes

There is a small area of land ...

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.

Kids are always the only future the human race has.

Americans still believe they are cut out to be successful-in everything: love, love-making, luck, luck-giving, money-making, sense-making, cancer-avoiding, clothes-wearing, car-driving, and so on.

The whole world and every human being in it is everybody's business.

William Saroyan 150 quotes

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.

We are not forced into unpleasant activities. We either allow them to come about or we encourage them to come about.
