Michael Chabon Quotes

There Is No More Useless Activity Than That Of Periodization, The Packaging Of History, In Particular Cultural History, Into Discrete Eras - The Jazz Age, The Greatest Generation, The Eisenhower Years, The Sixties. Such Periods Can Never Be Honestly Articulated Without Recourse To So Many Demurrals And Arbitrary Demarcations, And The Granting Of So Many Exceptions, As To Render Them Practically Useless For Any Kind Of Serious Historical Purpose. In Times Of Supposed License, Repression Reigns Freely All Around; In Eras Renowned For Their Conventionality, Oddballs And Freaks Hoist Their Banners High.
