Adam Mansbach Quotes

Eating is one of the great pleasures of life Picture Quote #1

I like to write in coffee shops in countries in which languages I do not speak are spoken. That way, you’re surrounded by the buzz of humanity, but you aren’t distracted by people’s conversations Picture Quote #1

Look closely, and you can see where the grooves of a record widen, indicating a sparseness that can only be a bass solo, or grow denser to accommodate a cresting density of sound Picture Quote #1

Graffiti writers were the most interesting people in hip hop. They were the mad scientists, the mad geniuses, the weird ones Picture Quote #1

A holiday vacation can mean sampling all kinds of new cuisine - whether it’s Uncle Joe’s award-winning chili or the exotic flavors of Nepal. If your little ones are fussy, be sure to ease mealtime hassles by bringing along a supply of the familiar foods they’re accustomed to rejecting at home Picture Quote #1

The publishing industry stopped having new ideas out of respect for the untimely death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 and has been doing everything the same way ever since Picture Quote #1

To me, ‘The End of the Jews’ - both the title and the novel itself - is about the end of pat, uncritical ways of understanding oneself in the world Picture Quote #1

Children crave routine and find listening to the same stories over and over again soothing. If you’ve grown weary of the holiday books you’ve read your kid 7,883 times, try adding ‘dude’ to the end of every line of dialogue Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, it’s best to let the kids take control - and it’s never too early to instill positive eating habits or self-confidence in the kitchen Picture Quote #1

If you’re a novelist, as I am in real life, you’re usually so desperate for any kind of feedback Picture Quote #1

Vinyl is democratic, as surely as the iPod is fascist. Vinyl is representational: It has a face. Two faces, in fact, to represent the dualism of human nature. Vinyl occupies physical space honestly, proud as a fat woman dancing Picture Quote #1

When it comes right down to it, developing a critical sensibility about parenting isn’t really about disapproval; it’s about honing your own sensibilities, figuring out how you want to parent Picture Quote #1

You know you’re a hopeless record nerd when your time travel fantasies always come around to how cool it would be to go back to 1973 and buy all the great funk and jazz and salsa records that came out that year on tiny obscure labels and are now really rare and expensive Picture Quote #1

Because Jews were kicked out of every country in Europe at one time or another, and plenty of other places as well, there isn’t an ability to identify with a national heritage - you’ll never hear a Jew say ‘I’m German’ or ‘I’m Polish,’ without saying something about being Jewish as well, and for good reason Picture Quote #1

It’s hilarious to me that by writing an obscene fake children’s book I am mistaken for a parenting expert Picture Quote #1

My daughter is a very adventurous eater. I’m not the guy who sits around lamenting that all my kid will eat it is Tater Tots and chicken nuggets. With my kid, it’s more a capricious and whimsical decision-making Picture Quote #1

I believe that writers have a responsibility to evolve the language, whether by introducing new words or new usages. Shakespeare alone is responsible for something like 3400 words and phrases Picture Quote #1

Being Jewish is a big part of my artistic sensibility and my humor... I think it gives me a certain take on the world on a literary level Picture Quote #1

I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there’s this conflation of race, culture and religion Picture Quote #1

No one in my family has been observant for generations, but we all identify with being Jewish Picture Quote #1

The paradox of being in an industry where other people are usually the gatekeepers: publishers, editors - there are a lot of barriers to having control over your career. But coming out of hip-hop, the mindset was always to create your own Picture Quote #1

The city fought a $300 million, 18-year war on graffiti. New York Mayor John Lindsay declared war in 1972, and the battle for the transit system came later Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a lot of anxiety about being seen as a bad parent. There’s still a lot of subjects that I think people aren’t entirely comfortable being honest about Picture Quote #1

How do you sustain yourself when all the old structures people looked to for support - religion, family, ethnic solidarity - are crumbling, or feel so false that you refuse to avail yourself of them? What comes next? Picture Quote #1

In theory, parents are supposed to empathize with one other - find common cause in the fervent desire to preserve and protect the world for the next generation, and connect on some deep, almost mystical level that those poor souls who have not experienced this kind of all-consuming love cannot possibly comprehend Picture Quote #1

For me, most of the anxiety and difficulty of writing takes place in the act of not writing. It’s the procrastination, the thinking about writing that’s difficult Picture Quote #1
