Clay Quote by 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.” quote by Miranda July — Download Open image

Stab it with a big pointy knife. Again and again and again. Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into…
