Saul Bellow Quotes and Quotations

Our absorption in our contemporary historical state is very high right now. It's not altogether unlike a similar situation in seventeenth century Holland, where wealthy merchants wanted their portraits done with all their blemishes included. It is the height of egotism, in a sense, to think even one's blemishes are of significance. So today Americans seem to want their writers to reveal all their weaknesses, their meannesses, to celebrate their very confusions. And they want it in the most direct possible way - they want it served up neat, as it were, without the filtering and generalizing power of fiction. - Saul Bellow | Writers and Writing Quotes All a writer has to do to get a woman is to say he's a writer. It's an aphrodisiac. - Saul Bellow | Writers and Writing Quotes Our society, like decadent Rome, has turned into an amusement society, with writers chief among the court jesters - not so much above the clatter as part of it. - Saul Bellow | Writers and Writing Quotes Alternatives, and particularly desirable alternatives, grow only on imaginary trees. - Saul Bellow | Decisions Quotes
