"the very nature of ordinary people consists entirely of their perpetual and unchangeable ordinariness or, better still, when, in spite of all their strenuous efforts to get out of the rut of ordinariness and routine, they end up all the same by remaining unchangeably and perpetually ordinary and commonplace, then such people acquire a sort of typical character of commonplace people who simply refuse to be what they are and do their utmost to be original and independent without possesssing any qualities of independence."
-Dostoyevsky, "The Idiot"
