More From Isaac Bashevis Singer

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.
Falling In Love Book Love You
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Let us pause before the child of bethlehem. let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of god; we need his caress. god is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! god is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. let us allow ourselves to be moved by god's goodness.
Children Heart Cities
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
I always was interested in prose. as a teenager, i published short stories. and i always wanted to write the long short story, i wanted to write a novel. now that i have attained, shall i say, a respectable age, and have had experiences, i feel much more interested in prose, in the novel. i feel that in a novel, for example, you can get in toothbrushes and all the paraphernalia that one finds in dally life, and i find this more difficult in poetry.

Teenager Writing College
The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced... it’s one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. it’s another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed or, worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress.
