" I live on a ship full of outcasts, populated by society's unacceptable. And yet, here I stand, happy. And I love them all.
It is time, Primrose thought, to tender myself the same level of courtesy. Or perhaps it is time that I simply accepted that I too am one of the strange and abandoned. Appearances be damned. "

― Gail Carriger , Competence (The Custard Protocol #3)
