from “you can win friends with salad! why lisa simpson matters”:

In a classic 1991 episode of The Simpsons, Lisa is distraught to learn that her inspirational substitute teacher, Mr. Bergstrom, is leaving her.

With his train ready to leave the station, Mr. Bergstrom writes Lisa a note. “Whenever you feel like you’re alone, and there’s nobody you can rely on, this is all you need to know,” he says. Lisa opens the note as Mr. Bergstrom’s train disappears into the distance. It reads, “You are Lisa Simpson.“
