“I, Harriett Burden, hereby confess that my diverse fantasies were driven:


1. by a general desire for revenge against twits, dunderheads, and fools,

2. by an ongoing, wrenching intellectual isolation that resulted in loneliness because I roamed in too many books that no one could talk to me about,

3. by a growing sense that I had always been misunderstood and was madly begging to be seen, truly seen, but nothing I did made any difference.”
― Siri Hustvedt, The Blazing World
