I think when you’re an adult you start to like the very things that make you different. If you obsess about some defect, you make it obvious to everyone, and suddenly everyone is staring at just that defect. It’s always like that. The more you hide something, the more it shows. But when you accept your defect, suddenly no one on earth sees it anymore.

–Audrey Tautou

And if the soul

Is to know itself

It is into a soul

That it must look:

The stranger and the enemy,

we’ve seen him in the mirror.

You spoke about things they couldn’t see

and so they laughed.

Yet to row up the dark river

against the current,

to take the unknown road

blindly, stubbornly,

and to search for words rooted

like the knotted olive tree-

let them laugh.

And to yearn for the other world to inhabit

today’s suffocating loneliness,

this ravaged present-

let them be.

–George Seferis

If you’re extraordinary, you don’t have to be ordinary. But it isn’t easy. You have to work, learn, learn some more, and be the best at what you do-whatever it happens to be. And you have to keep that thick skin, because all the people who sold out and played the game are going to resent you for succeeding on your own terms.
