Children read books, not reviews. They don't give a hoot about critics.
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
Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.
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
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Every body resisted (the slaughterer) in its own fashion, tried to escape and seemed to argue with the Creator to its last breath.
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
While facts never become obsolete or stale, commentaries always do.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
There will never be any peace in the world as long as we eat animals.
