“I’ve always been a sort of self-imposed outsider, not a geeky outsider or a snobby outsider but, I just have a natural desire to live on the fringe. I’m not like a weirdo with a trench-coat but I just prefer to be alone or minimally surrounded by people.”
“I’ve been an outsider all my life. It’s been kind of hard, but I like that way of living.”
“But just as the river is always at the door, so is the world always outside. And it is in the world that we have to live.”
“You have a worth outside of a job, outside the "jacket" imposed on you since birth.”
“People don't change, they just have momentary steps outside of their true character, isolated actions contrary to their true nature.”
“I’ve got nothing against outsiders, per se, you understand. It’s just that you have to love a town before you can live in it right, and you have to live in it before you can love it right. Otherwise, you’re a parasite of sorts.”
