May this house stand until an ant drinks the ocean and a tortoise circles the world.
Jonathan CarrollReading a book, for me at least, is like traveling in someone else's world. If it's a good book, then you feel comfortable and yet anxious to see what's going to happen to you there, what'll be around the next corner. But if it's a lousy book, then it's like going through Secaucus, New Jersey -- it smells and you wish you weren't there, but since you've started the trip, you roll up the windows and breathe through your mouth until you're done.
Jonathan CarrollVery 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 CarrollThe only two important things in life are real love and being at peace with yourself.
