S. 138
“When she saw my 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. I made orange juice from concentrate and showed her the trick of squeezing the juice of one real orange into it. It removes the taste of being frozen. She marveled at this, and I laughed at this and said, Life is easy. What I meant was, Life is easy with you here, and when you leave, it will be hard again.”
(Miranda July, “No one belongs here more than you”, Scribner 2008)
