Jonathan Lethem Quotes

“Apologies aren't something you want to get in the habit of practicing in the mirror”
― Jonathan Lethem, Gun, With Occasional Music

“The world was ersatz and actual, forged and faked, by ourselves and unseen others. Daring to attempt to absolutely sort fake from real was a folly that would call down tigers or hiccups to cure us of our recklessness. The effort was doomed, for it too much pointed past the intimate boundaries of our necessary fictions.”
― Jonathan Lethem, Chronic City
