The William Saroyan Reader (1958)
Context: The writer is a spiritual anarchist, as in the depth of his soul every man is. He is discontented with everything and everybody. The writer is everybody's best friend and only true enemy — the good and great enemy. He neither walks with the multitude nor cheers with them. The writer who is a writer is a rebel who never stops.

“Rebel you against sadness. The spirit of the rebels is fiery and thrives on emotion.”
Original: Ribellatevi alla tristezza. Lo spirito dei ribelli è ardente e vive di emozioni.
