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
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
Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don't care, but because they don't.
Jonathan Carroll
