“I should have stuck around to discover the nature of that soil for
myself – but I belong with the liars and weaklings. I cannot lead my
betters. If I want to be a hero, it will not be to the jocks, whose
interiors have an integrity that springs up from the very center of the
earth itself. It will be to the utter liars I find myself here, in the
white-walled room that is the typing school’s second-floor studio.”
- Sheila Heti, How Should a Person Be?, pg 34
