More quotes by Jonathan Carroll
Learn to wait invariably either things will change or your heart will.
Jonathan Carroll
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.
Jonathan Carroll

Jonathan Carroll
Ive never seen myself as a fantasy writer-ever.
Jonathan Carroll
Some people are like blue jeans- the older and more beat up they get, the better they look.
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
Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.
Jonathan Carroll
My memory loves you… it asks about you all the time.
Jonathan Carroll

Jonathan Carroll
Krakow is one of my favorite places on earth. It is a medieval city full of young people. A wonderful, striking combination.
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
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
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
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
