More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
When the time comes I will go joyfully. Whatever may be there, it will be real, without complication, without ridicule, without deception.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
One has to trust that God knows how to manage the world.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The more you see what other people do, the more you learn about yourself.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Life is God's novel. Let him write it.
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
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
Sometimes love is stronger than a man's convictions.
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
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
There must be a way for man to attain all possible pleasures, all the powers and knowledge that nature can grant him, and still serve God--a God who speaks in deeds, not in words, and whose vocabulary is the Cosmos.
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
Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
From borrowing one gets poorer and from work one gets richer.
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
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
It seems that the analysis of character is the highest human entertainment. And literature does it, unlike gossip, without mentioning names.
