... when I turn on the news or watch closely how people treat each other -- I raise my eyebrows and think: Actually, maybe it's not me. Maybe it's you, world. Maybe my inability to adapt to the world is not because I'm crazy but because I'm paying attention. Maybe it's not insane to reject the world as it is. Maybe the real insanity is surrendering to the world as it is. Maybe pretending that things around here are just fine is no badge of honor I want to wear. Maybe it's exactly right to be a little crazy. Maybe the truth is: World, you need my poetry.
-- Glennon Doyle, Untamed, p. 280-281
