More quotes by Saul Bellow
The soul has to find and hold its ground against hostile forces, sometimes embodied in ideas which frequently deny its very existence, and which indeed often seem to be trying to annul it altogether.
Saul Bellow
Is our species crazy? Plenty of evidence.
Saul Bellow
Psychoanalysis pretends to investigate the Unconscious. The Unconscious by definition is what you are not conscious of. But the Analysts already know what's in it - they should, because they put it all in beforehand.
Saul Bellow
The more realistic you are the more you threaten the grounds of your own art.
Saul Bellow
You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.
Saul Bellow
We are all such accidents. We do not make up history and culture. We simply appear, not by our own choice. We make what we can of our condition with the means available. We must accept the mixture as we find it - the impurity of it, the tragedy of it, the hope of it.
Saul Bellow
... a fellow can't predict what he will pick up in the form of influence.
Saul Bellow
Excuse me ... but I reject your definitions of me.
Saul Bellow
People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.
Saul Bellow
Death is the dark backing a mirror needs if we are to see anything
Saul Bellow
I don’t actually take much stock in the collapsing culture bit. I’m beginning to see it instead as the conduct of life without input from your soul.
Saul Bellow
A good novel is worth more then the best scientific study.
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
I think that art has something to do with an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.
Saul Bellow
With one long breath, caught and held in his chest, he fought his sadness over his solitary life. Don't cry, you idiot! Live or die, but don't poison everything.
Saul Bellow
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
Readiness to answer all questions is the infallible sign of stupidity.
Saul Bellow
There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are and what this life is for.
Saul Bellow
I am deeply moved when I write. I get turned on by it. I've never used any drugs for stimulation. I don't use words loosely. When I'm working and the right word comes, there is an answering resonance within me. There is also a hardness of intention that goes with it. There is no idleness in it.
Saul Bellow
The hour that burst the spirit's sleep.
Saul Bellow
