Jerome Charyn is one of the most important writers in American literature and one of only three now writing whose work makes me truly happy to be a reader.
Michael Chabon
Every golden age is as much a matter of disregard as of felicity.
Michael Chabon
And then the man reminded Max, with a serious but suave and practiced air, that freedom was a debt that could be repaid only by purchasing the freedom of others.
Michael Chabon
Poor little librarians of the world, those girls, secretly lovely, their looks marred forever by the cruelty of a pair of big dark eyeglasses!
Michael Chabon
I’m a man who falls in love so easily, and with such reckless lack of consideration for the consequences of my actions, that from the very first instant of entering into a marriage I become, almost by definition, an adulterer.
Michael Chabon
The world like our heads was meant to be escaped from, they are prisons world and head alike.
Michael Chabon
He took a step toward her, than another, tentatively, gathering all his strength, as though about to throw a heavy switch that would, if his calculations were correct, bring light to a hundred cities and ten thousand darkened rooms. He was going to ask her to dance - that was all.
Michael Chabon
... and because it was a drunken perception, it was perfect, entire, and lasted about half a second.
Michael Chabon
Never say love is like anything... It isn't.
Michael Chabon
Every generation loses the Messiah it has failed to deserve.
Michael Chabon

Michael Chabon

Michael Chabon

Michael Chabon
Childhood is a branch of cartography.
Michael Chabon
Fathering imposed an obligation that was more than your money, your body, or your time, a presence neither physical nor measurable by clocks: open-ended, eternal, and invisible, like the commitment of gravity to the stars.
Michael Chabon
. . .I really ought to have recognized it for what it was and, perhaps, to have stopped right there - for it was nostalgia, and what inspires nostalgia has been dead a long time
Michael Chabon
The two dozen commonplace childhood photographs - snowsuit, pony, tennis racket, looming fender of a Dodge - were an inexhaustible source of wonder for him, at her having existed before he met her, and of sadness for his possessing nothing of the ten million minutes of that black-and-white scallop-edged existence save these few proofs.
Michael Chabon
... But he believed that every great love was in some measure a terrible mistake.
Michael Chabon
Every universe, our own included, begins in conversation. Every golem in the history of the world, from Rabbi Hanina's delectable goat to the river-clay Frankenstein of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, was summoned into existence through language, through murmuring, recital, and kabbalistic chitchat -- was, literally, talked into life.
Michael Chabon
That's why school was invented - to give your parents some peace and quiet during the day.
