Quotes by Louis B. Jones (?)

“Women, after a certain age, never look at you anymore with absolute faith showing in their eyes. Those candles are for children. Rather, paradoxically, when a women is beginning to have faith in you, she eyes you with doubt, as if she were weighing you in as trustworthy, but against her better judgment.”
― Louis B. Jones, California's Over

“It's not the heart that decides, or still less the brain, but rather it's the voice in the throat that goes ahead into all these risks.”

“. . . But then you will want to put that {publication} behind you right away. You will want to recover the obscurity you swim best through. You've got eternal youth there. You'll never be satisfied. If you get lucky, it will be a darkness so pure it will mirror not the 'self,' but the mysterious 'other.”
― Louis B. Jones
