Facts always are sensational.
Saul Bellow
Image
(Socrates) said there were only two possibilities. Either the soul is immortal or, after death, things would be again as blank as they were before we were born.
Saul Bellow
Image
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
Saul Bellow
Image
You're all alone when you're a writer. Sometimes you just feel you need a humanity bath. Even a ride on the subway will do that. But it's much more interesting to talk about books. After all, that's what life used to be for writers: they talk books, politics, history, America. Nothing has replaced that.
Saul Bellow
Image
Art is order, made out of the chaos of life.
Saul Bellow
Image
It is wrong to turn a man (a subject) into a thing (an object). By means of spiritual dialogue, the I-It relationship becomes an I-Thou relationship. God comes and goes in man's soul. And men come and go in each other's souls. Sometimes they come and go in each other's beds, too.
Saul Bellow
Image
Well, everybody has a history.
Saul Bellow
Image
Americans must be the most sententious people in history. Far too busy to be religious, they have always felt that they sorely needed guidance.
Saul Bellow
Image
I seem to have the blind self-acceptance of the eccentric who can't conceive that his eccentricities are not clearly understood.
Saul Bellow
Image
All human accomplishment has the same origin, identically. Imagination is a force of nature. Is this not enough to make a person full of ecstasy? Imagination, imagination, imagination.
Saul Bellow
Image
When I didn't argue he was satisfied he had persuaded me, and was not the first to make that mistake.
Saul Bellow
Image
The stillness in art characterizes prayer, and the eye of the storm.
Saul Bellow
Image
With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you've fallen into good hands - someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence.
Saul Bellow
Image
I have, perhaps, a slave-like constitution which is too easily restrained by bonds it then becomes rebellious and bursts out in a comic revolution.
Saul Bellow
Image
A human soul devoid of longing was a soul deformed, deprived of its highest good, sick unto death.
Saul Bellow
Image
Fidelity is for phonographs
Saul Bellow
Image
A novel is balanced between a few true impressions and the multitude of false ones that make up most of what we call life.
Saul Bellow
Image
Unexpected intrusions of beauty. This is what life is.
Saul Bellow
Image
It's no disgrace to be a private, you know. Socrates was a plain foot soldier, a hoplite.
Saul Bellow
Image
And I'm convinced that knowing the names of things braces people up.
