“Jack was the kind of guy you could take into any situation and he would figure out how to fit in. Wayne, not so much. So they didn't really ever bond."
"You know what we therapists say about people who fit in in every situation?"
"What?"
"They have no inherent genuine personality. They aren't themselves, they are only who they think the current audience expects them to be. Flawed though some of Wayne's actions may seem to you, at the end of the day he sounds like someone who isn't afraid to just be himself, all day, every day. That takes a fairly strong sense of self, to not go against your natural instincts, to not try to make yourself into something you aren't in order to be better liked or more homogenous."
"I never thought about it that way."
"Most people don't. But if you look at some of the truly great minds and artists of our history, they are often people who didn't necessarily fit, who were outside the norm. Some of them had actual disorders, many of the great minds are now presumed to have some level of Asperger's or low-level autistic tendencies, but a lot of them were just left of center."
"Are you saying that Wayne is a secret genius? Do I have a Jobs or Spielberg or something on my hands?"
"Of course not. I'm just saying that fitting in, or caring about fitting in, isn't necessarily in and of itself the world's most desirable trait.”
― Stacey Ballis, Out to Lunch

“إنّ طريقةَ نظرتِك إلى الأمورِ قد تجعلك غريبًا وسطَ أهلك، فتصبح عدوَّ مَن كنتَ تعدُّهم أصدقاءك، ويصبح وجودُك تهديدًا لأمانهم. سلامتُك لا تهمُّهُم، وسرعان ما تجد نفسَك تُتَّهَمُ بجريمةِ الاختلاف. جلّادُك يشبهُك تمامًا في الشكل، لكنه يُفكّر بطريقةٍ مختلفةٍ تمامًا. يَحكُم عليك قاضٍ لا يحبُّ طريقةَ تفكيرِك، أو لا يحبُّ أن تفكّرَ أصلًا؛ هو يشبهُك في الشكلِ تمامًا، لكنّه لا يشاطرُك الأحلامَ ولا الأفكار. ذلك القاضي يُمثّلُ نظامًا بناهُ أشخاصٌ يُشبهونك تمامًا في الشكل”
― Alexis Kouros, أبناء غوندوانا

“It is as if you are the legend of the black bear come to life."
Merida's breath caught in her throat.
Then Elinor laughed. "Maybe that is what we should tell those who do not believe in our legends. It may scare some into changing their ways. Make them see things from another person's perspective, as the legend proclaims."
Merida's heart swelled at the familiar words. She realized just how much she had changed since she had eaten that cake. And not just on the outside. She was not the same girl who thought only about what she wanted, without considering her duty to protect and support her kingdom. After witnessing the way Elinor had been willing to put aside her plans to uncover the threat to MacCameron Kingdom, Merida understood how important this role was. She no longer saw her responsibilities as a burden; they were an honor.”
