"William Saroyan was the first to let it all hang out, the first to cast aside social and psychological considerations and to write like a child in wonderland." - ARTHUR MILLER

"William Saroyan was the first and still the greatest of all the American minimalists." —KURT VONNEGUT

''He is one of the most underrated writers of the century. He takes his place naturally alongside Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Faulkner.''

STEPHEN FRY, as quoted in 13th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival Announces Award Winners At Gala Awards Ceremony. 13 May 2013

"William Saroyan wrote a great play (The Time of Your Life) on this theme, that purity of heart is the one success worth having."

—TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

“I like William Saroyan, the writer. I read his plays when I was, like 22. And he said one line talking about his work. He was asked ‘Why do you write?’ He said ‘because it’s the only way I chose to survive’. And that was literally in front of me going through rejection year after year.” — DUSTIN HOFFMAN
