More quotes by Jonathan Carroll
Far more disturbing than any spook house at an amusement park is a ride through the old hometown if you've been away for years.
Jonathan Carroll
People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.
Jonathan Carroll
I write about what interests me. It's very dangerous when you try to satisfy an audience.
Jonathan Carroll
If you are very lucky, you're allowed to be in certain places during just the right season of your life: by the sea for the summer when you're seven or eight and full of the absolute need to swim until dark and exhaustion close their hands together, cupping you in between.
Jonathan Carroll
For an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat.
Jonathan Carroll
Women are always complaining about men's fascination with breasts. But what if men were absolutely indifferent to breasts? What would women do then with these things that serve one function once or twice in a lifetime, and the rest of the time are just in the way?
Jonathan Carroll
Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That's about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind.
Jonathan Carroll
Dogs are minor angels, and I don't mean that facetiously. They love unconditionally , forgive immediately, are the truest of friends, willing to do anything that makes us happy
Jonathan Carroll
Learn to wait invariably either things will change or your heart will.
Jonathan Carroll
Very often I'll find out at the end of a book what I put in at the beginning. A sort of process of elimination and discovery in one.
Jonathan Carroll
Ive never seen myself as a fantasy writer-ever.
Jonathan Carroll
I started a short story but it was so dreary that even my pen threw up.
Jonathan Carroll
The problem with waiting for someone, whether that wait is an hour or a lifetime, is everyone's 'clock' is different. So what you might consider forever is only a little while to them, or vice versa.
Jonathan Carroll
One of the saddest realities is that we never know when our lives are at their peak. Only after it is over and we have some kind of perspective do we realize how good we had it a day, a month, five years ago.
Jonathan Carroll
I feel like a cliche.
Jonathan Carroll
In Poland, my audience is all women between 18 and 30. At U.S. conventions, you have the fantasy and science fiction crowd. At Harvard you have an entirely different audience. It's so schizophrenic.
Jonathan Carroll
Everything you want in life has teeth.
Jonathan Carroll
People are always waiting to be discovered.
Jonathan Carroll
Its easy to lose sight of what you want when you think you want everything.
Jonathan Carroll
Sometimes it is the smallest thing that saves us: the weather growing cold, a child's smile, and a cup of excellent coffee.
Jonathan Carroll
