More quotes by 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
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
Yo can always take back the lost parts of yourself if you can find and recognize them.
Jonathan Carroll
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.
Jonathan Carroll
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.
Jonathan Carroll
Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don't care, but because they don't.
Jonathan Carroll
Just write about what bites you and damn the rest.
Jonathan Carroll
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.
Jonathan Carroll
Learn to wait invariably either things will change or your heart will.
Jonathan Carroll
Very often I'll find out at the end of a book what I put in at the beginning. A sort of process of elimination and discovery in one.
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
Everything you want in life has teeth.
Jonathan Carroll
I forgive nothing. If you stole my orange crayon in the fifth grade, you're still on my hit list, buddy.
Jonathan Carroll
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.
Jonathan Carroll
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.
Jonathan Carroll
Some people are like blue jeans- the older and more beat up they get, the better they look.
Jonathan Carroll
People are always waiting to be discovered.
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
The only two important things in life are real love and being at peace with yourself.
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.
