More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
There is a quiet humor in Yiddish and a gratitude for every day of life, every crumb of success, each encounter of love... In a figurative way, Yiddish is the wise and humble language of us all, the idiom of a frightened and hopeful humanity.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Literature is the memory of humanity.
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
All is foreseen but the choice is given.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Men want all women to lie down as whores and get up as virgins.
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

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
When a day passes, it is no longer there. What remains of it? Nothing more than a story. If stories weren't told or books weren't written, man would live like the beasts, only for the day.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
As much as I can give of myself I give of myself. There's no reason why not. And when I have to hide something, I let the character speak.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Man is a disgusting thing. If you beat him he starts to scream, but if it is the other one who is beaten, then he constructs a theory.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
In relation to them (animals), all people are Nazis for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
A story to me must have some surprise...I must have a passion to write the story.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
In God's mill even chaff becomes flour.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
In the half darkness I winked to my other self, my mad dictator, and congratulated him on his droll victory. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth flowing from Shosha's head to my face. What did I have to lose? Nothing more than what everyone loses anyway.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
