More quotes by Jonathan Carroll
Everything you want in life has teeth.
Jonathan Carroll
Its easy to lose sight of what you want when you think you want everything.
Jonathan Carroll
Everyone coming out of a perfume store is smelling the back of their hand.
Jonathan Carroll
Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake-with strings.
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
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
Ive never seen myself as a fantasy writer-ever.
Jonathan Carroll
Fear pounds on the door to our heart demanding to be let in. Joy is modest and often comes into our lives like a shy person entering a room it can take a while to even notice it's there.
Jonathan Carroll
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.
Jonathan Carroll
At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture.
Jonathan Carroll
I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.
Jonathan Carroll
I feel like a cliche.
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
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.
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
Some people are like blue jeans- the older and more beat up they get, the better they look.
Jonathan Carroll
I write about what interests me. It's very dangerous when you try to satisfy an audience.
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
Death doesn't make you sad- it makes you empty. That's what's so bad about it. All of your charms and beliefs and funny habits fall fast through a big black hole, and suddenly you know they're gone because just as suddenly, there's nothing left at all inside.
Jonathan Carroll
I started a short story but it was so dreary that even my pen threw up.
Jonathan Carroll
