Normality is to be different. Every person is a different person. And one day you need to be aware of your difference. Aware that you are not the same as the others. That is to be normal.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Image
Normality is the Great Neurosis of civilization.
Tom Robbins
Image
Normality is what weak people call living, I call it death
Greg Plitt
Image
Normality is the new eccentric.
Criss Jami
Image
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The hardest work most of us do is maintaining the appearance of normality.
Harry Shearer
Image
One has never said better how much humanism, normality, quality of life were nothing but the vicissitudes of profitability.
Jean Baudrillard
Image
The human mind isn't a terribly logical or consistent place. Most people, given the choice to face a hideous or terrifying truth or to conveniently avoid it, choose the convenience and peace of normality. That doesn't make them strong or weak people, or good or bad people. It just makes them people.
Jim Butcher
Image
It's not a good idea to define the boundaries of normality by tearing apart people who are outside of it.
Jon Ronson
Image
The judges of normality are present everywhere. We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator-judge, the social worker-judge.
Michel Foucault
Image
For me it was a normality having a father who was a world champion. I grew up with that, so it was never extra pressure. And I've never felt the need to emerge from his shadow.
Nico

The trick is the paradox - turning your story inside out. Now if it is something that appears to be of total normality and then suddenly turns inside out and is a different thing all together then that's fun to write.
Nigel Kneale
Image
The anorexic body is held in the grip of will alone its meaning is far from stable. What it says - 'Notice me, feed me, mother me' - is not what it means, for such attentions constitute an agonising test of that will, and also threaten to return the body to the dreaded 'normality' it has been such ecstasy to escape.
Rachel Cusk
Image
According to Montaigne, it was the oppressive notion that we had complete mental control over our bodies, and the horror of departing from this portrait of normality, that had left the man unable to perform sexually.
Alain de Botton
Image
The healthy being craves an occasional wildness, a jolt from normality, a sharpening of the edge of appetite, his own little festival of Saturnalia, a brief excursion from his way of life.
Robert Morrison MacIver
Image
I suggest we bring some normality back to this country and say if you are carrying a knife, there must be zero tolerance. If it was up to me, everyone caught with a knife would get an automatic ten year sentence.
Simon Cowell
Image
If you look at the whole life of the planet, we - you know, Man - has only been around for a few blinks of an eye. So if the infection wipes us all out, that is a return to normality.
Alex Garland
Image
Creativity, not normality, has become the paradigm of mental health.
Stephen Mitchell
Image
What does all this mean finally, I kept asking like a college kid. Why does it make me want to cry? Maybe it’s that we are all outsiders, we are all making our own unusual way through a wilderness of normality that is just a myth.
Anne Rice
Image
Fantasy isn't just a jolly escape: It's an escape, but into something far more extreme than reality, or normality. It's where things are more beautiful and more wondrous and more terrifying. You move into a world of conflicting extremes.
Terry Gilliam
Image
I've never been in another kind of midlife crisis. I don't know what it feels like when you're through that, but I definitely feel that changing a few things, like being on a different label and having things kind of settle back into a sense of normality, helps to feel grounded.
Carrie Brownstein
Image
Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.
Frank Zappa
Image
We are in a world that is quite extremist and extremism makes more noise. Normality does not sell.
Vicente del Bosque
Image
I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don't know where I'm going to take my career.
George Michael
