Famous quotes containing the words saul bellow, bellow and/or saul:

    Any artist should be grateful for a naïve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
    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)

    Saul was very angry, for this saying displeased him. He said, -They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; what more can he have but the kingdom? So Saul eyed David from that day on.
