Quote by Saul Bellow (1915-2005)

• You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.

• She was what we used to call a suicide blond - dyed by her own hand.

• The presidency is now a cross between a popularity contest and a high school debate, with an encyclopedia of cliches the first prize.

• There is an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for.

• Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.

• A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
