More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
Literature is the memory of humanity.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.
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
Each soul must accomplish its task, or it would not have been sent here.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Children?have no use for psychology.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
In relation to them (animals), all people are Nazis for the animals, it is an eternal Treblinka.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
To me the Yiddish language and the conduct of those who spoke it are identical.
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
I don't invent characters because the Almightly has already invented millions... Just like experts at fingerprints do not create fingerprints but learn how to read them.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.
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
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
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
But my gloom did not lessen. I knew that I'd had a bad dream, and I stood in the dark trying to recollect it. The second I closed my eyes, I was with the dead. They did things words cannot express. They spoke madness. (Hanka)
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Various philosophers and religious leaders tried to convince their disciples and followers that animals are nothing more than machines without a soul, without feelings. However, anyone who has ever lived with an animal-be it a dog, a bird, or even a mouse-knows that this theory is a brazen lie, invented to justify cruelty.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.
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
From borrowing one gets poorer and from work one gets richer.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
