“Superheroes might be awesome, but they are also different.

And being different feels a lot like being alone.”

(Bell, 2014, p. 46)

“Being on the outside can feel like pure agony, especially when we're young. It can strike at the very core of who we are. But if we're willing to work through our experiences and make sense of them, we'll find that we're not alone in our pain. Quite the opposite, actually.” (Yang, 2006, Afterword).
