“She went out from school with the uncomfortable sense of being a square peg, which fitted into none of the round holes of the world; the wisdom she had got, the experience she was richer by, had, in the process of equipping her for life, merely seemed to disclose her unfitness. She could not then know that, even for the squarest peg, the right hole may ultimately be found; seeming unfitness prove to be only another aspect of a peculiar and special fitness.”
— The Getting of Wisdom, Henry Handel Richardson
