Isaac Bashevis Singer Stories Quotations

A good writer is basically a story teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind.

Actually, the true story of a person's life can never be written. It is beyond the power of literature. The full tale of any life would be both utterly boring and utterly unbelievable.

When a day passes, it is no longer there. What remains of it? Nothing more than a story. If stories weren't told or books weren't written, man would live like the beasts, only for the day.

A story to me must have some surprise...I must have a passion to write the story.

If we have people with the power to tell a story, there will always be readers.
