Quote by Muriel Barbery

“No one understands better than I do the feelings of people who are unsuited to the world into which they have been born. Some have ended up in the wrong body, others in the wrong place. Their misfortune is blamed on a flaw in their personality, when in fact they have merely gone astray in a place they shouldn’t have been.”
