In the time of your life, liveโso that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it."
William SaroyanEven after you've won fame and fortune, every time you write you've got to write, there's no shortcut, you have to start your career all over again.
William SaroyanGenius is play, and man's capacity for achieving genius is infinite, and many may achieve genius only through play.
William SaroyanUnless a man has pity he is not truly a man. If a man has not wept at the worlds pain he is only half a man, and there will always be pain in the world, knowing this does not mean that a man shall dispair. A good man will seek to take pain out of things. A foolish man will not even notice it, except in himself, and the poor unfortunate evil man will drive pain deeper into things and spread it about wherever he goes.
