Saul Bellow [1915 – 2005]
I will say this for my choice: there are many professions that one may follow without enthusiasm, but though there may be as many unenthusiastic novelists, proportionately, as there are unenthusiastic engineers or dentists, they must consider themselves infidels and they feel their unbelief and treason keenly. Vividness is what they must desire most and so they must value human existence or be unfaithful to their calling.
