More quotes by Sinclair Lewis
It is, I think, an error to believe that there is any need of religion to make life seem worth living.
Sinclair Lewis
To a true-blue professor of literature in an American university, literature is not something that a plain human being, living today, painfully sits down to produce. No it is something dead.
Sinclair Lewis
Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. In protest, I declined election to the National Institute of Arts and Letters some years ago, and now I must decline the Pulitzer Prize.
Sinclair Lewis
What is Love? Listen! It is the rainbow that stands out, in all its glorious many-colored hues, illuminating and making glad again the dark clouds of life. It is the morning and the evening star, that in glad refulgence, there on the awed horizon, call Nature's hearts to an uplifted rejoicing in God's marvelous firmament!
Sinclair Lewis
What are these unheard of sins you condemn so much - and like so well?
Sinclair Lewis
You, Said Dr. Yavitch, are a middle-road liberal, and you haven't the slightest idea what you want. I, being a revolutionist, know exactly what I want -- and what I want now is a drink.
Sinclair Lewis

Sinclair Lewis
Life is hard and astonishingly complicated.... No one great reform will make it easy. Most of us who work -- or want to work -- will always have trouble or discontent. So we must learn to be calm, and train all our faculties, and make others happy.
Sinclair Lewis
Fine, large, meaningless, general terms like romance and business can always be related. They take the place of thinking, and are highly useful to optimists and lecturers.
Sinclair Lewis
Winter is not a season in the North Middlewest it is an industry.
Sinclair Lewis
Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.
Sinclair Lewis
A man takes a drink, the drink takes another, and the drink takes the man.
Sinclair Lewis
That nation is proudest and noblest and most exalted which has the greatest number of really great men.
Sinclair Lewis
Writing is just work-there's no secret. If you dictate or use a pen or type or write with your toes-it's still just work.
Sinclair Lewis
Indians, of course, have no theology, and indeed no word for the system of credulity in which the white priests arrange for God, who must be entirely bewildered by it, a series of excuses for his failures.
Sinclair Lewis
You're so earnest about morality that I hate to think how essentially immoral you must be underneath.
Sinclair Lewis
Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.
Sinclair Lewis
There are so many people in the world who are eager to do for you things that you do not wish done, provided only that you will do for them things that you don't wish to do.
Sinclair Lewis
We'd get sick on too many cookies, but ever so much sicker on no cookies at all.
Sinclair Lewis
She did her work with the thoroughness of a mind which reveres details and never quite understands them.
