More From Miranda July

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.
Photography Mean Sky
Care and quality are internal and external aspects of the same thing. a person who sees quality and feels it as he works is a person who cares. a person who cares about what he sees and does is a person who’s bound to have some characteristic of quality.
Quality Who Cares Doe
Granny bit her lip. she was never quite certain about children, thinking of them-when she thought about them at all-as coming somewhere between animals and people. she understood babies. you put milk in one end and kept the other as clean as possible. adults were even easier, because they did the feeding and cleaning themselves. but in between was a world of experience that she had never really inquired about. as far as she was aware, you just tried to stop them catching anything fatal and hoped that it would all turn out all right.
Baby Children Thinking
A person is either himself or not himself; is either rooted in his existence or is a fabrication; has either found his humanhood or is still playing with masks and roles and status symbols. and nobody is more aware of this difference (although unconsciously) than a child. only an authentic person can evoke a good response in the core of the other person; only person is resonant to person.
Children Differences Roles
A crystalline moment shatters, and the world is a different place. where there was confinement, now there is release. recoiling from my sudden liberation, my left arm flings downcanyon, opening my shoulders to the south, and i fall back against the northern wall of the canyon, my mind is surfing on euphoria. as i stare at the wall where not twelve hours ago i etched “rip oct 75 aron apr 03,” a voice shouts in my head: i am free!
Wall Rip Fall
Any philosophic explanation of quality is going to be both false and true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. the process of philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into subjects and predicates. what i mean (and everybody else means) by the word 'quality' cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. this is not because quality is so mysterious but because quality is so simple, immediate and direct.

Understanding means throwing away your knowledge.
Mean Understanding Throwing
Just because you've been successful and just because you've disrupted an environment, doesn't mean you're a role model or that you actually have anything to teach anybody. there's an awful lot of luck and accident in the world, and maybe you were just on the receiving end of that.
Mean Successful Role Models
But what, precisely, is hope? at a talk i gave last spring, someone asked me to define it. i turned the question back on the audience, and here’s the definition we all came up with: hope is a longing for a future condition over which you have no agency; it means you are essentially powerless.
Spring Mean Agency
Yankees don't understand that the southern way of talking is a language of nuance. what we can do in the south is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different.
