And where do I go? Where on Earth does a person go when she realizes there's no place for her? You can't possibly try to fit in, because if you do, if you manage to carve out some beautiful niche of happiness for yourself, then one day it will be taken from you as surely and truly as the sun rises each morning.

About This Quote

In this quote, author Kay Ryan talks about the power of destiny. Ryan says that it's a fallacy that a person can look for a corner to fit into. Instead, a person must accept that she must fit in the world around her. This is because if a person tries to fit into a specific niche, she will eventually fit in nowhere. Ryan's message is that it's important to be comfortable with the life that you've been given and not to compare yourself to others.
