More quotes by Miranda July
Don't wait to be sure. Move, move, move.
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
When I write, I wear earplugs. I don't want to be self-conscious. I don't want to be thinking about the fact that I'm thinking about it. I just want to be in it. It's one element of hypnosis.
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
The job of the artist is to point at things.
Miranda July
My ideal life is just lounging around the house and every once in a while I'll kind of write something, and then I'll leave and eat something and masturbate or whatever - just this very fluid life of comforting myself.

People tend to stick to their own size group because it's easier on the neck. Unless they are romantically involved, in which case the size difference is sexy. It means: I am willing to go the distance for you.
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 steeled myself against laughter I would rather die than laugh. I didn’t laugh, I did not laugh. But I died, I did die.
Miranda July
I can't imagine being invested in someone else's script.
Miranda July
When you can see the beauty of a tree, then you will know what love is.
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
She bludgeoned me with a look of such limitless compassion that I immediately began to cry.
Miranda July
I spend a lot of time obsessing about getting a dignified eight hours' sleep.
Miranda July
The word God asks a question and then answers it before there is any chance to wonder.
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
People tend to hold on to their first impressions - that's why those first descriptions can be so important. You don't even necessarily look at people that carefully after a while you just hold on to that early impression.
Miranda July
Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy to hope for something else.
Miranda July
When I was very little, I probably wanted to be more normal. I probably wanted the Laura Ashley bedroom, and instead I got thrift-store everything.
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.
