Miranda July
“Some people need a red carpet rolled out in front of them in order to walk forward into friendship. They can't see the tiny outstretched hands all around them, everywhere, like leaves on trees.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

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, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Padgett Powell
“Have you seen a person recently so delicious-looking that, were you and this person to be scrambling for ice-cream change with your arms in the sofa and your faces laid on the cushions looking at each other as you felt for coins and the ice-cream truck dinged on by and your hands in there felt only the lint of the sofa scrofula and your faces were fairly close across a distance of that knobby nylon terrain, you might feel compelled to slide you face toward this delicious-looking person’s and kiss him or her - have you seen anyone like this recently?”
Padgett Powell, The Interrogative Mood

Miranda July
“I went home early to study my apartment before the class. I wanted to look at everything through her eyes. I do this before I bring someone new into my life; I try to get a sense of who I am so that I can make it easier for them to know me.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Mary Roach
“Silletti and I, for instance, chewed out cotton wads for the same amount of time. I produced .78 milliliters of stimulated saliva; she produced 1.4. She tried to reassure me. "It doesn't say anything about how good you are or how good I am with saliva."

"Erika, I'm a dried up husk."

"Don't say that, Mary.”
Mary Roach, Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
