Jonathan Carroll
Image
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.

The angel said, I like black-and-white films more than color because they're more artificial. You have to work harder to overcome your disbelief. It's sort of like prayer.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
I write about what interests me. It's very dangerous when you try to satisfy an audience.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.
