Bellow / Two Quotes

Saul Bellow

TWO QUOTES
by Saul Bellow

Arts and Artist
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.

Oppression
Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing, you hold down the adjoining.
