Isaac Bashevis Singer Quotes

But what about the creatures whose flesh he's carrying there? A few days ago they were alive. They too have souls. They too are God’s children.

But day after day they are ritually sacrificed-angels in the shape of oxen, calves, sheep. I once wanted to become a vegetarian. I wanted everything-and I never got further than wanting.

Isaac Bashevis Singer
