We didn't say anything because there was such an awful lot to say, and no language to say it in.
William SaroyanIt is simply in the nature of Armenian to study, to learn, to question, to speculate, to discover, to invent, to revise, to restore, to preserve, to make, and to give.
William SaroyanI'm not the kind of guy to knock at a door and then when the door is opened not go in.
William SaroyanSeek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding-place and let it be free and unashamed. Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world.
