Bellow

Famous quotes containing the word bellow:

    I think that New York is not the cultural center of America, but the business and administrative center of American culture.
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    We are all such accidents. We do not make up history and culture. We simply appear, not by our own choice. We make what we can of our condition with the means available. We must accept the mixture as we find it—the impurity of it, the tragedy of it, the hope of it.
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    In the greatest confusion there is still an open channel to the soul. It may be difficult to find because by midlife it is overgrown, and some of the wildest thickets that surround it grow out of what we describe as our education. But the channel is always there, and it is our business to keep it open, to have access to the deepest part of ourselves.
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
