Whatever doesn't really happen is dreamed at night. It happens to one if it doesn't happen to another, tomorrow if not today, or a century hence if not next year.
Isaac Bashevis SingerWhen a human being kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice.
Isaac Bashevis SingerWe know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.
Isaac Bashevis SingerWhile the poet entertains he continues to search for eternal truths, for the essence of being. In his own fashion he tries to solve the riddle of time and change, to find an answer to suffering, to reveal love in the very abyss of cruelty and injustice. Strange as these words may sound I often play with the idea that when all the social theories collapse and wars and revolutions leave humanity in utter gloom, the poet--whom Plato banned from his Republic--may rise up to save us all.
