More quotes by Michael Chabon
I said, “I need to hear something that’s going to save my life.” Re: Selecting songs from a jukebox.
Michael Chabon
What's going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I'll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.
Michael Chabon
Nothing is boring exept to people who aren't really paying attention.
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
Forget about what you are escaping from. Reserve your anxiety for what you are escaping to.
Michael Chabon
I thought, I fanced, that in a moment, I would be standing on nothing at all, and for the first time in my life, I needed the wings none of us has.
Michael Chabon
It took Marvel Comics years to begin to put together any worthwhile superheroines. The first crop was, to a gal, embarrassingly disappointing. They had all the measly powers that fifties and sixties male chauvinism could contrive to bestow on a superwoman.
Michael Chabon
Novelist time is reptile time novelists tend to be ruminant and brooding, nursers of ancient grievances, second-guessers, Tuesday afternoon quarterbacks, retrospectators, endlessly, like slumping hitters, studying the film of their old whiffs.
Michael Chabon
The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.
Michael Chabon
Every Messiah fails, the moment he tries to redeem himself.
Michael Chabon
When I'm writing solitude feels very good. But when I'm not writing it feels lonely... Having a big family solves that problem.
Michael Chabon
Not only would I never want to belong to any club that would have me for a member--if elected I would wear street shoes onto the squash court and set fire to the ballroom curtains.
Michael Chabon
Childhood is a branch of cartography.
Michael Chabon
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
I don't do a lot of foisting, because when it comes to books I don't really like to be foisted upon.
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
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
Man makes plans . . . and God laughs.
Michael Chabon
Never say love is like anything... It isn't.
Michael Chabon
Take care-there is no force more powerful than that of an unbridled imagination.
Michael Chabon
