“If culture means anything, it means knowing what value to set upon human life; it’s not somebody with a mortarboard reading Greek. I know a lot of facts, history. That’s not culture. Culture is openness of the individual psyche… to the news of being.”
- Saul Bellow (b. 1915), Canadian-born American Jewish writer: “The Glasgow Herald”, 1985.
“This city is full of lunatics, people who went into muttering fits on the buss, others who shouted obscenities in automats, lost souls who walked the pavement alone, caught up in imaginary conversations.”
