More quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
Sometimes love is stronger than a man's convictions.
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
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
The more you see what other people do, the more you learn about yourself.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
No technological achievements can mitigate the disappointment of modern man, his loneliness, his feeling of inferiority, and his fear of war, revolution and terror. Not only has our generation lost faith in Providence but also in man himself, in his institutions and often in those who are nearest to him.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
They still believe in God, the family, angels, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other obsolete stuff.
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
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
Heaven and earth conspire that everything which has been, be rooted and reduced to dust. Only the dreamers, who dream while awake, call back the shadows of the past and braid nets from the unspun thread.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise... Because this is how life is full of surprises.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
All is foreseen but the choice is given.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
When a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The ghetto was not only a place of refuge for a persecuted minority but a great experiment in peace, in self-discipline and in humanism. As such it still exists and refuses to give up in spite of all the brutality that surrounds it. I was brought up among those people.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
No lepidopterist's collection in the entire world...full if iridescent wings, is worth the life of a single butterfly.
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
What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
We are all God's creatures-that we pray to God for mercy and justice while we continue to eat the flesh of animals that are slaughtered on our account is not consistent.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
A story to me must have some surprise...I must have a passion to write the story.
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
