“The normal world has no room for exceptions and always quietly eliminates foreign objects. Anyone who is lacking is disposed of.

“When something was strange, everyone thought they had the right to come stomping in all over your life to figure out why. I found that arrogant and infuriating, not to mention a pain in the neck. Sometimes I even wanted to hit them with a shovel to shut them up, like I did that time in elementary school. But I recalled how upset my sister had been when I’d casually mentioned this to her before and kept my mouth shut.”

“You eliminate the parts of your life that others find strange--maybe that's what everyone means when they say they want to 'cure" me.”
