More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
How can we speak of right and justice if we take an innocent creature and shed its blood? How can we pray to God for mercy if we ourselves have no mercy? Nobel laureate in literature.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Literature is the memory of humanity.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
I am not ashamed to admit that I belong to those who fantasize that literature is capable of bringing new horizons and new perspectives--philosophical, religious, aesthetical and even social.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Kindness, I've discovered, is everything in life.
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

Isaac Bashevis Singer
In relation to them (animals), all people are Nazis for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
From borrowing one gets poorer and from work one gets richer.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Men want all women to lie down as whores and get up as virgins.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
If there would come a voice from God saying, 'I'm against vegetarianism!' I would say, 'Well, I am for it!' This is how strongly I feel in this regard.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When you betray somebody else, you also betray yourself.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
