“I found myself remembering the day in kindergarten when the teachers showed us Dumbo, and I realized for the first time that all the kids in the class, even the bullies, rooted for Dumbo, against Dumbo's tormentors.

It was astounding, an astounding truth. Everyone thought they were Dumbo.”
― Elif Batuman, The Idiot
