Hanya Yanagihara Quotes
Mr. Irvine ... Had Given Him Advice: Not
advice About How To Think As Much As Advice About How To Be, About How To Be A Curiosity In A World In Which Curiosities Weren't Often Tolerated. "People Are Going To Think Certain Things About You Because Of How You Walk," Mr. Irvine Had Once Said To Him, And He Had Looked Down. "No," He'd Said. "Don't Look Down, Jude. It's Nothing To Be Ashamed Of. You're A Brilliant Man, And You'll Be Brilliant, And You'll Be Rewarded For Your Brilliance. But If You Act Like You Don't Belong, If You Act Like You're Apologetic For Your Own Self, Then People Will Start To Treat You That Way, Too." He'd Taken A Deep Breath. "Believe Me." Be As Steely As You Want To Be, Mr. Irvine Had Said. Don't Try To Get People To Like You. Never Try To Make Yourself More Palatable In Order To Make Your Colleagues More Comfortable.
