Paul Auster Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• That's all I've ever dreamed of, Mr. Bones. To make the world a better place. To bring some beauty to the drab humdrum corners of the soul. You can do it with a toaster, you can do it with a poem, you can do it by reaching out your hand to a stranger. It doesn't matter what form it takes. To leave the world a little better than you found it. That's the best a man can ever do.

  Paul Auster

  Men, Hands, Soul

  Paul Auster (2008). “Collected Novels”

• I think all writers are a bit crazy; Damaged souls, incapable of doing anything else.

  Paul Auster

  Crazy, Thinking, Soul

  Paul Auster, James M. Hutchisson (2013). “Conversations with Paul Auster”, p.200, Univ. Press of Mississippi

• Art is not politics. The glory of the novel is that in its essence, it is a democratic form, because it treats individuals as worthy of scrutiny. That alone is a kind of political act. A good novel about a tea party of rich women can be just as galvanizing and important to the soul as War and Peace, so I think it's not really the job of artists to do anything. They can have their opinions as private citizens, but they must continue making their art.

  Paul Auster

  Art, War, Thinking
