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
You have, like the external world, your own phenomena inside.
Saul Bellow
It seems, after all that there are no nonpeculiar people.
Saul Bellow
