Jane Smiley Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. September 26, 1949
Birthday: September 26
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 carry it off, and you don't care. That's more like how it was.
