Seth Shostak
American Scientist
The overwhelming bulk of the cosmos is deathly quiet. But here and there - on worlds where matter is thick and conditions are right - noises are commonplace. And in some cases, these noisy worlds may ring with the sounds of life - the bleats and bellows of creatures we have never seen, but may someday discover.
Quote examples
T. C. Boyle
American Novelist
I don't care if the audience is 600 Saul Bellows; I'm going to knock them dead with a comedy routine. I'm out there as a missionary for literature because, if people laugh and enjoy themselves, they might actually do something as bizarre as reading the book.
Quote examples
Leonard Nimoy
American Actor
I began working with a family camera. It was called a Kodak Autographic, which was one of those things where you flopped it open and pulled out the bellows. And I've been at it ever since; I've never stopped.
Quote examples
George Grosz
German Artist

William Hazlitt
English Critic

Richard Cohen

Trump is a dust storm of lies and diversions with the bellows of a bully and the greasy ethics of a street-corner hustler.

Charles Peguy
French Philosopher
He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.
