More quotes by Saul Bellow
We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next.
Saul Bellow
... a fellow can't predict what he will pick up in the form of influence.
Saul Bellow
Human character is smaller now, people don't have durable passions they've replaced passions with excitement.
Saul Bellow
One of the booby traps of freedom - which is bordered on all sides by isolation - is that we think so well of ourselves. I now see that I have helped myself to the best cuts at life's banquet.
Saul Bellow
Fidelity is for phonographs
Saul Bellow
There's a kind of emptiness at the center of life ... nothing to form your life on, or by.
Saul Bellow
You have, like the external world, your own phenomena inside.
Saul Bellow
I want to tell you, don't marry suffering. Some people do. They get married to it, and sleep and eat together, just as husband and wife. If they go with joy they think it's adultery.
Saul Bellow
She's very pretty but she's honey from the icebox, if you know what I mean. Cold sweets won't spread.
Saul Bellow
What do women want? They eat green salad and drink human blood.
Saul Bellow
I am moneys medium. It passes through me- taxes, insurance, mortgage, child support, rent, legal fees. All this dignified blundering costs plenty.
Saul Bellow
In here, the human bosom -- mine, yours, everybody's -- there isn't just one soul. There's a lot of souls. But there are two main ones, the real soul and a pretender soul. Now! Every man realizes that he has to love something or somebody. He feels that he must go outward. 'If thou canst not love, what art thou?' Are you with me?
Saul Bellow
We mustn't forget how quickly the visions of genius become the canned goods of intellectuals.
Saul Bellow
The ocean was waiting with grand and bitter provocations, as if it invited you to think how deep it was, how much colder than your blood or saltier, or to outguess it, to tell which were its feints or passes and which its real intentions, meaning business.
Saul Bellow
I seem to have the blind self-acceptance of the eccentric who can't conceive that his eccentricities are not clearly understood.
Saul Bellow
... an era of turmoil and ideological confusion, the principal phenomenon of the present age.
Saul Bellow
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
A man may say, From now on I'm going to speak the truth. But the truth hears him and runs away and hides before he's even done speaking.
Saul Bellow
The modern reader (or viewer, or listener: let's include everybody) is perilously overloaded. His attention is, to use the latest lingo,'targeted' by powerful forces? Our consciousness is a staging area, a field of operations for all kinds of enterprises, which make free use of it.
Saul Bellow
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about the journalists we can only hope that they will die off as the deerflies do towards the end of August.
