Jonathan Carroll
My memory loves you… it asks about you all the time.
Jonathan Carroll
I started a short story but it was so dreary that even my pen threw up.
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

Jonathan Carroll
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.
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
Eating is sex for old people.
Jonathan Carroll
