David Levithan
“They are so caught up in their happiness that they don't realize I'm not really a part of it. I am wandering along the periphery. I am like the people in the Winslow Homer paintings, sharing the same room with them but not really there. I am like the fish in the aquarium, thinking in a different language, adapting to a life that's not my natural habitat. I am the people in the other cars, each with his or her own story, but passing too quickly to be noticed or understood.

. . . There are moments I just sit in my frame, float in my tank, ride in my car and say nothing, think nothing that connects me to anything at all.”
David Levithan, Every Day

“Unnoticed

There's a winter wren in Alaska
No man has laid eyes on her beauty
She sings in the spruce pine where she lives
No man has heard her song
She flies down to gather a twig for her home
No man has built her a house
She comes upon a bite to eat
A worm has a misfortunate morning
No man has thrown seed for her food
Overhead clouds cast a shadow in the dawn
She returns home
No man has noticed”
Eric Overby, Journey

I guess being beneath notice has advantages.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

Liz Braswell
“Nothing came or went out of the tower that Gothel didn't bring herself-- or that Rapunzel did not create out of the things she had brought. And usually the things she created took days or weeks and were obvious in their coming into existence. Gothel always complained about the sawdust, the paint flecks, the experimental cheese curds...”

“The small things were never what ruined you. If she were kneeling and examining the shells on the beach, she wouldn't see the titanic wave raising over her head.
