“You can't simultaneously be the product of your environment and still choose your own destiny; your destiny was written in your bones before your existence, and bore you into your environment without asking you. Everything you've ever read, watched, listened to; it all seeps into your flesh and makes you the person you are, and if that makes you the person you are, it affects every 'choice' you make”

“Now that you're an adult, you might still feel a pang of guilt when you decline a dinner invitation in favor of a good book. Or maybe you like to eat alone in restaurants and could do without the pitying looks from fellow diners. Or you're told that you're "in your head too much", a phrase that's often deployed against the quiet and cerebral.
Or maybe there's another word for such people: thinkers.”
