From Introduction to the Skin:
They think it’s an insult when they call you a weirdo, but it sustains you. What’s the alternative? Being like them? Trying to be popular, spending more time trying to look happy than finding out wat actually makes you happy? You have no energy for that, or at least not enough to compete with what everyone wants. You have your niches, your obscure joys that empower you. Let the rest of them mistake your clever in-jokes for awkward nonsense. You know who the real fools are, who’s really missing out.
