“All memory lies. It paints nice colors over the ugly or disturbing things. Or it cleverly distorts them; bends and twists them, so that they fit better into the convenient history we’re all continuously writing and amending of our lives. No matter who you are, your memory is always and for everything an unreliable witness. Never trust it to tell the truth about who you are or how you got here.”
—Jonathan Carroll ( from the new book )
“Nobody gets out of love alive. That’s half the deal and we all know it by the time we’re fifteen years old. You gamble and lose about 90% of the time. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. The chances of winning anything are a million to one. We know that but it doesn’t stop us from trying again and again. Which is good because it shows people are optimistic about the most important thing in life.”
—Jonathan Carroll ( from the new book )
