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.

More quotes by Jonathan Carroll
Some people are like blue jeans- the older and more beat up they get, the better they look.
Jonathan Carroll

Jonathan Carroll
Eating is sex for old people.
Jonathan Carroll
If I don't feel like writing today or for a few days, I don't. And I don't think about it. It is not an obligation-it is the greatest privilege.
Jonathan Carroll
Learn to wait invariably either things will change or your heart will.
Jonathan Carroll
Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.
Jonathan Carroll

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
If you are a success in life, there are places you must go and pay to be humiliated. It is an unwritten law that human beings must be tormented throughout their lives in one way or another. If you are fortunate enough to have risen to a social level where no one does it to you for free, then you must pay for the service.
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
Its easy to lose sight of what you want when you think you want everything.
Jonathan Carroll
It's always fun to walk down the street with or behind a really beautiful woman, for no reason other than to see how the world reacts to them.
Jonathan Carroll
Everyone coming out of a perfume store is smelling the back of their hand.
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
My memory loves you… it asks about you all the time.
Jonathan Carroll
Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well.
Jonathan Carroll
Just write about what bites you and damn the rest.
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.
