An exchange occurs between man and woman. Love and thought complete each other in the human pair, and something like an exchange of souls takes place, according to the divine plan.

More quotes by Saul Bellow
The body, she says, is subject to the force of gravity. But the soul is ruled by levity, pure.
Saul Bellow
Boredom is the conviction that you can't change ... the shriek of unused capacities.
Saul Bellow
There's a kind of emptiness at the center of life ... nothing to form your life on, or by.
Saul Bellow
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
And I said to myself that unless you conceive Death to be a violent guerrilla and kidnaper who snatches those you love, and if you are not cowardly and cannot submit to such terrorism as civilized people now do in every department of life, you must pursue and inquire and explore every possibility and seek everywhere and try everything.
Saul Bellow
I've discovered that rejections are not altogether a bad thing. They teach a writer to rely on his own judgment and to say in his heart of hearts, 'To hell with you.'
Saul Bellow
The hour that burst the spirit's sleep.
Saul Bellow
I immersed myself in The Periodic Table gladly and gratefully. There is nothing superfluous here, everything this book contains is essential. It is wonderful pure, and beautifully translated...I was deeply impressed.
Saul Bellow
A writer is a reader moved to emulation.
Saul Bellow
Is our species crazy? Plenty of evidence.
Saul Bellow
The stillness in art characterizes prayer, and the eye of the storm.
Saul Bellow
Human character is smaller now, people don't have durable passions they've replaced passions with excitement.
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
Language is a spiritual mansion in which you live and nobody has the right to evict you.
Saul Bellow
I don't like to write from a flat, cold position. You must like what you're doing very much or like the people -- either like them or hate them. You can't be indifferent.
Saul Bellow
When I didn't argue he was satisfied he had persuaded me, and was not the first to make that mistake.
Saul Bellow
Death deserves dignity.
Saul Bellow
Love is the most potent cosmetic.
Saul Bellow
It seems, after all that there are no nonpeculiar people.
Saul Bellow
I labor, I spend, I strive, I design, I love, I cling, I uphold, I give way, I envy, I long, I scorn, I die, I hide, I want. Faster, much faster than any man could make the tally.
Saul Bellow
