People are used to the way things are, however mediocre they may be. It’s all they know, it’s comfortable. Even if they know things could be better. You see mediocrity is comfortable, it does not require effort, it does not require discipline, it does not require being noticed, it does not require “upsetting” someone. Because excellence upsets those who cannot produce it, and glory upsets those who cannot be apart of it.

Being an outsider makes you resourceful. Loss makes you resourceful. Poverty makes you resourceful, as does fighting with the tax office. Being oppressed makes you resourceful. If you’re lucky enough to be successful, you mustn’t forget the skills you acquired when you were utterly miserable.
Vigdis Hjorth, Will and Testament: A Novel. Translated by Charlotte Barslund
