"A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose. In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth."

"I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it."

"One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation."

Harold Bloom
"Criticism in the universities, I'll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It's Stalinism without Stalin."

Sympathy

Quote_1.png
Harold Bloom
"The world does not get to be a better or a worse place; it just gets more senescent."

World

Quote_1.png
Harold Bloom
"In the finest critics one hears the full cry of the human. They tell one why it matters to read."

Reading

Quote_1.png
Harold Bloom
"In fact, it is Shakespeare who gives us the map of the mind. It is Shakespeare who invents Freudian Psychology. Freud finds ways of translating it into supposedly analytical vocabulary."

Fact

Harold Bloom
"Indeed the three prophecies about the death of individual art are, in their different ways, those of Hegel, Marx, and Freud. I don't see any way of getting beyond those prophecies."

Art

"What we call a poem is mostly what is not there on the page. The strength of any poem is the poems that it has managed to exclude."

Strength

"What is supposed to be the very essence of Judaism - which is the notion that it is by study that you make yourself a holy people - is nowhere present in Hebrew tradition before the end of the first or the beginning of the second century of the Common Era."

"What matters in literature in the end is surely the idiosyncratic, the individual, the flavor or the color of a particular human suffering."

Literature

Quote_1.png
Harold Bloom
"I would say that there is no future for literary studies as such in the United States."

Future

Quote_1.png
Harold Bloom
"If I were to sum up the negative reactions to my work, I think there are two primary causes: one is that if there is discourse about anxiety it is necessarily going to induce anxiety. It will represent a return of the repressed for a great many people."
