Loner QUOTES

1 " Sometimes I wonder if, having the ability to time travel back to certain moments in which our fear or impulsiveness got the best of us and resulted in an unsatisfying outcome, we would actually alter our behavior knowing what we know now, or if we would end up repeating exactly what we did the first time, surrendering to those elemental directives, incapable of deviating from some preordained essence of our character. "

2 " I’m an extroverted introvert at best. But everyone says that, right? They want to claim the best parts of each—that they can be charming when they need to, but they really prefer solitude. No one’s ever, like, ‘I have the neediness of an extrovert and the poor social skills of the introvert.’ Sorry "

3 " All hopes I had of a roommate who would help upgrade me to a higher social stratum snagged on the gleaming barnacles of Steven's orthodontia. "

― Teddy Wayne , Loner

4 " How dispensable are most people in our lives, collections of matter filling empty space until they’re recycled. "

― Teddy Wayne , Loner

5 " We were studious but not collectively brilliant enough to be nerds, nor sufficiently specialized to be geeks. "

― Teddy Wayne , Loner

6 " You were here because it was compulsory, not to make friends. You had no interest in present company, didn’t need to manufacture an affable smile and hope some generous soul took pity on you. No, you weren’t one of us at all. You were in a tribe of your own. "

― Teddy Wayne , Loner

7 " If no one’s paying attention to you, at least you can be yourself, do your own thing. "

― Teddy Wayne , Loner

8 " We overestimate destiny’s role in our lives, selectively applying it to favorable outcomes (...) But the law of averages—which, when advantageous to us, we prefer to call fate, when disadvantageous we decry as bad luck, and when neutral we ignore—will occasionally smile upon us when we most need it. "
