Quote #136
The world was my home and I was glad to be in it.
More from William Saroyan
- I loved the theaters, and even though I was hungry, I never spent money for food.
- I do not know what makes a writer, but it probably isn't happiness.
- The streets made me, and the streets stink, but I love them, for I was born in them out of flesh and I was born in them out of spirit.
- The order I found was the order of disorder.
- A man cannot write a poem or a story that will transform the whole nature of man, his reality and his truth, making them greater and nobler.
- What is a street? It is where the living weep, where the dead go off in silence to their peace.
- I can't hate for long. It isn't worth it.
- My writing is careless, but all through it is something that is good, that is mine alone, that no other writer could ever achieve.
