More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
It is a fact that the classics of Yiddish literature are also the classics of the modern Hebrew literature.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Literature has neglected the old and their emotions. The novelists never told us that in love, as in other matters, the young are just beginners and that the art of loving matures with age and experience.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
In relation to them (animals), all people are Nazis for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter God.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When literature becomes overly erudite, it means that interest in the art has gone and curiosity about the artist is what's important. It becomes a kind of idolatry.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
I get up every morning with a desire to do some creative work. This desire is made of the same stuff as the sexual desire, the desire to make money, or any other desire.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We are all God's creatures-that we pray to God for mercy and justice while we continue to eat the flesh of animals that are slaughtered on our account is not consistent.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
While facts never become obsolete or stale, commentaries always do.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
One has to trust that God knows how to manage the world.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
A good writer is basically a story teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Two important things are to have a genuine interest in people and to be kind to them. Kindness, I've discovered, is everything.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Whenever I'm in trouble, I pray. And because I'm in trouble all of the time, I pray almost constantly.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Originality is not seen in single words or even in sentences. Originality is the sum total of a man's thinking or his writing.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Of course I believe in free will. Do we have a choice?
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When I was a little boy, they called me a liar, but now that I am grown up, they call me a writer.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
