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

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Salzburg... is a mountain town with a rushing river running right through the center, everything in the rain various shades of green and brown.

Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.

I forgive nothing. If you stole my orange crayon in the fifth grade, you're still on my hit list, buddy.

Image
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.

I started a short story but it was so dreary that even my pen threw up.

If you are very lucky, you're allowed to be in certain places during just the right season of your life: by the sea for the summer when you're seven or eight and full of the absolute need to swim until dark and exhaustion close their hands together, cupping you in between.

You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.

Just write about what bites you and damn the rest.

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.
