"Usually when I was forced to compete, it was my tactic to simply give up. To try in any way was to announce your ambition, which only made you more vulnerable. The person who wanted to win but failed was a loser, while the person who didn’t really care was just a weirdo—a title I had learned to live with." — David Sedaris - “Full House” from Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (via cassterborous)
