“If you give to a thief, he cannot steal from you, and he is then no longer a thief.”   —   William Saroyan

(Okay, what’s this semantics B.S.?  Besides, you don’t know someone is a thief until they try to rob you.  And, once you know that you can willingly give what you want to him, but that doesn’t change what he is.  And, if you give to a thief before you know he’s a thief he’ll likely rob you anyway.  And, if you give all to him – either way – you’re left with nothing.  This seems like a namby-pamby kind of quote, to me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“In order to write, all a man needs is paper and a pencil.”   —   William Saroyan

(A little dated, and a little obvious.  Maybe this was a wry – and possibly a little bored – response to an interviewer’s question.  I don’t know.  All I do know is that he has many more interesting quotes than this.  Just look at some of the Related articles, below.  Hey!  No one promised you continuous profundity!  Be well and do good, friends.  Stay cool.)   —   YUR
