Rebel Quote by Dinah Katt
““I mean, were you born a freak?” I asked. I flinched at my own words. I didn’t mean to be rude it just came out that way. The girl rolled her eyes to me. “I don’t know. Were you born stupid?” Okay, maybe I deserved that. “Yeah, probably.””

![“[Eugene Smith] was always writing these diatribes about truth, and how he wanted to tell the truth, the truth, the truth. It was a real rebel position. It was kind of like a teenager's position: why can't things be like they should be? Why can't I do what I want? I latched on to that philosophy…” quote by Larry Clark](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e56/larry-clark-25877_hey_eugene-smith-was-always-writing-these-di_31228.jpg)
