“There’s a quality of legend about freaks.
Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.”
— Diane Arbus

That which is visible on the outside is like the tip of the iceberg.

What matters is visible only to those who care enough to look.
