More quotes by Miranda July
Would she understand that time had stopped while she was gone.
Miranda July
The word God asks a question and then answers it before there is any chance to wonder.
Miranda July
I don't tally the world, asking, Would this annoy you? Would this annoy you? That's so far removed from where I'm at when I'm in the trenches struggling with how to express things that I don't fully understand myself.
Miranda July
An erratum is a correction inserted into a book after publication. It's a nice thing to collect because you can't go after them, you just come upon them. In 25 years I've only found about 12.
Miranda July
There was nothing in this world that was not a con, suddenly I understood this. Nothing really mattered, and nothing could be lost.
Miranda July
That day I carried the dream around like a full glass of water, moving gracefully so I would not lose any of it.
Miranda July
When she saw my messy desk, she said she was the same way, and there was no dust on the TV, and I was easy to love. People just need a little help because they are so used to not loving. It's like scoring the clay to make another piece of clay stick to it.
Miranda July
We really wanted to know all the unknowable things about each other and how we were the same and how we were different, if we even were, maybe nobody is.
Miranda July
She never inquired, but she never recoiled, either. This is a quality that I look for in a person, not recoiling.
Miranda July
I don't think I'm more of a screenwriter than I am a fiction writer. I'm more of a reader than a film-watcher, so I imagine that I'm not approaching fiction or films in a particularly cinematic way.
Miranda July
And why had Deb's last boyfriend dumped her? I dumped him. Maybe you didn't French-kiss him enough. I promise you that wasn't it. Tell me how many times a day you kissed, and I'll say if it was enough. Four hundred. Not enough.
Miranda July
I'm totally not kidding. Life is too short. This is all too hard to do to actually be kidding about the whole thing.
Miranda July
I think because I write so many short stories, it's not that hard to come up with characters that are not me.
Miranda July
I looked out the window for other passengers in love with their drivers, but we were well disguised, we pretended boredom and prayed for traffic.
Miranda July
But, like ivy, we grow where there is room for us.
Miranda July
We don't really believe in mowing the lawn we do it only to avoid unnecessary engagement with the neighbors.
Miranda July
I've always been terrified of getting used to something that is actually killing me-a relationship or a job. But in those cases, you can count on a friend to say something. The Internet is different, because all my friends are in the same relationship.
Miranda July
If you were wise enough to know that this life would consist mostly of letting go of things you wanted, then why not get good at the letting go, rather than the trying to have?
Miranda July
It occurred to me that everyone’s story matters to themselves, so the more I listened, the more she wanted to talk.
Miranda July
In my paranoid world every storekeeper thinks I’m stealing, every man thinks I’m a prostitute or a lesbian, every woman thinks I’m a lesbian or arrogant, and every child and animal sees the real me and it is evil.
Miranda July
