"There's a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." (Diane Arbus)

Can you tell me more about the source of the quote? Like, what book, letter, interview, or whatnot did she say it in? I'm currently building a website that could use such a quote.

I found it searching the quotations resources at bartleby.com. The specific page in question is here. Apparently this particular quote was spoken in a class lecture.
