More From Isaac Bashevis Singer

What i'm really involved in when i'm writing is something that no one ever mentions when they see any play. writing is like trying to make gunpowder out of chemicals. you have these words and sentences and the strange meanings and associations that are attached to the words and sentences, and you're somehow cooking these things all up so that they suddenly explode and have a powerful effect. that's what absorbs me from day to day in writing a play.
Powerful Writing Play
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

How fascinating to a child are words: the shapes, sounds, textures and mysterious meanings of words; the way words link together into elastic patterns called "sentences." and these sentences into paragraphs, and beyond.

Every comedian is furious. age makes me angry. i'm unhappy at not being able to open packages anymore. i'm angry that libraries have gone. i hate children on planes. i'm very shallow, so they tend to be little things. to be honest, i think i was probably angry the day i was born, you know, about diapers or something.
