Jane Smiley Quote

We came to the corner, waited for the light, and crossed. I had no idea where we were going. I said, I didn’t realize you were so depressed. I was depressed, but that was a side issue. This was more like closing up shop, or, say, having a big garage sale, where you look at everything you’ve bought in your life, and you remember how much it meant to you, and now you just tag it for a quarter and watch ’em all carry it off, and you don’t care. That’s more like how it was.
