Saul Bellow
“We never learn anything, never in the world, and in spite of all the history books written. They’re just the way we plead or ague with ourselves about it, but it’s only light from the outside that we’re supposed to take inside. If we can. There’s a regular warehouse of fine suggestions and if we’re not better it isn’t because there aren’t plenty of marvelous and true ideas to draw on, but because our vanity weighs more than all of them put together.”
Saul Bellow, The Adventures of Augie March

Bob Dylan
“It's a wicked life, but what the hell, the stars ain't falling down.”
Bob Dylan, Lyrics, 1962-2001

Don DeLillo
“It is so much simpler to bury reality than it is to dispose of dreams. ― Don DeLillo, Americana (ACTES SUD; 0 edition, August 10, 1993)”
Don DeLillo, Americana

Bob Dylan
“Build me a cabin in Utah
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout
Have a bunch of kids who call me “Pa”
That must be what it’s all about
That must be what it’s all about”
Bob Dylan, Lyrics, 1962-2001

“Tell me this, pal, why isn't everybody sitting on a fence in the moonlight playing a banjo? That's all I want to know.”
Vincent Lawrence
