Autistic Flapper

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”
― Albert Camus

“She's far happier thinking her sister is normal, even if she has a lot of problems, than she is having an abnormal sister for whom everything is fine.”
― Sayaka Murata, コンビニ人間 [Konbini ningen]

“I’ve always assumed that when someone acts mean to me it’s because I did something wrong. Maybe that’s not it at all, though. Sort of like how sometimes you throw your best pitch and the batter still hits a home run. Because sometimes things just happen and you can’t control it. No matter how good and smart and talented you are.”
― Sarah Kapit, Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
