Saul Bellow quote: "Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best..."
Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty; but learn to be happy alone. Saul Bellow
But privately when things got very bad I often looked into books to see whether I could find some helpful words, and one day I read, "The forgiveness of sins is perpetual and righteousness first is not required." This impressed me so deeply that I went around saying it to myself. But then I forgot which book it was. Saul Bellow
We never learn anything, never in the world, and in spite of all the history books written. They’re just the way we plead or ague with ourselves about it, but it’s only light from the outside that we’re supposed to take inside. If we can. There’s a regular warehouse of fine suggestions and if we’re not better it isn’t because there aren’t plenty of marvelous and true ideas to draw on, but because our vanity weighs more than all of them put together. Saul Bellow
Saul Bellow quote: "We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next."
We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next. Saul Bellow
