Additional quotes by William Saroyan

للحظة أبدية كان هو كل الأشياء فى آن : الطائر والسمكة والحيوان القارض والزاحف والإنسان ، وكان أمامه محيط من أثر الإنسان يتموج فى الظلام بلا نهاية. احترقت المدينة ، وتمردت الجماهير المحتشدة ، والأرض تدور مبتعدة وحين أدرك أنه يفعل مثلها ، أدار وجهه الضائع إلى السماء الخالية وأصبح بلا حلم ولا حياة ، لقد اكتمل.

وليم سارويان
(الشاب الجرئ على العقلة الطائرة)

How can you talk if you don’t say anything? I said.
You talk without words. We are always talking without words.
Well, what good are words, then?
Not very good, most of the time. Most of the time they’re only good to keep back what you really want to say, or something you don’t want known.
