“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about

Quotes by Owen Jones  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“May you always look as beautiful as this last time I saw you.”
Owen Jones, An Exciting Future

“We bar girls don't cheat on wives, we are just the rope that cheating husbands hang themselves with.”
Owen Jones, An Exciting Future

“Do you know this place, Lek?" he shouted in her ear. “Stop. Stop here. I want to go shopping." He didn't. He wanted to look for a bar, but he knew the word 'shopping' had more stopping power than the word 'bar' – the word 'shopping' was the verbal equivalent of a 44 Magnum.”
Owen Jones, An Exciting Future
