• We do not hear the term compassionate applied to business executives or entrepreneurs, certainly not when they are engaged in their normal work. Yet in terms of results in the measurable form of jobs created, lives enriched, communities built, living standards raised, and poverty healed, a handful of capitalists has done infinitely more for mankind than all the self-serving politicians, academics, social workers, and religionists who march under the banner of compassion.

• There's a normal tendency in the campaign, during a crisis, for the country to rally around the White House. vThat may help Al Gore in this campaign, but on the other hand, George W. Bush handled himself so well the other night on foreign policy that I think it fortified him just before this crisis broke.

• Todo ser vivo es, desde la perspectiva cósmica, increíblemente afortunado por el mero hecho de estar vivo. La mayoría, el 90% y más, de todos los organismos que han existido han muerto sin descendencia viable, pero ni uno solo de tus antepasados, desde los albores de la vida en la Tierra, sufrió esa desgracia normal. Usted procede de una línea ininterrumpida de ganadores.

• Realmente no puedo negarlo, soy quien soy. Soy bastante normal. No soy ese tipo de chica suave. Choco con cosas, tropiezo, derramo comida. Digo cosas estúpidas... Realmente no lo tengo todo junto.

• I would prefer a normal-sized breast, or a small breast or whatever, and that it be natural, than to understand that it was just some jelly in there.

• The classicist, and the naturalist who has much in common with him, refuse to see in the highest works of art anything but the exercise of judgement, sensibility, and skill. The romanticist cannot be satisfied with such a normal standard; for him art is essentially irrational - an experience beyond normality, sometimes destructive of normality, and at the very least evocative of that state of wonder which is the state of mind induced by the immediately inexplicable.

  Herbert Read

• The biggest bursts of speciation that we know about in the history of the earth are soon after great cataclysms, like the extinction of the dinosaurs, which create new opportunities, and all sorts of new forms spring up... So, quite often, the reasons for creativity depend on accidents or disasters that prevent the normal habits being carried out.

  Rupert Sheldrake

• An Eagle Scout deserves a letter of congratulations, but not a proclamation, ... That's a normal process. It's not a heroic process.

• The reverse process is extremely important to me - that artistic images can inspire to words and different myths, and that in certain cultures this process has been the normal relation between images and words.

• Advertisers like that because they want you to feel their product isn't normal - this perfume isn't normal, this set of lingerie isn't normal. The irony is that they are appealing to normal people to buy the product because they want them to identify with an exotic life that they don't lead.

• It was a great place to grow up. There were always kids around in our neighborhood. We had a basketball hoop in the back of our house, a little front yard where you could get touch football games going. I know you think of it as a big city, but it was fun for me to grow up in New Orleans. I remember it as a very normal childhood.

• That's a deep change in priorities. People are much less political today. They have found other values of life. We are developing normal attitudes, a normal set of priorities. We are growing out of our childhood.

• Interest in reading memoirs is universal. What has happened is that people are writing about more and more outrageous things. Our threshold for weirdness - you can't have just a normal childhood - has gone way up.

• Tuve esta idea cuando estaba en el hospital... Parece que todos los años me viene gente diferente y me pide una canción de Navidad y me pareció extrañamente apropiado para mí este año porque Navidad es la época en la que se supone que estoy de vuelta y en marcha y todo eso. Así que escribí una canción sobre el regreso de este viaje tan interesante y la vuelta a la normalidad, al trabajo y a mi vida normal.

• Algo es gracioso, sobre todo, porque es verdad, y porque la velocidad de percepción de esta verdad supera nuestros estándares normales. Algo es gracioso porque se sale de nuestros límites aceptados de decoro. Algo es gracioso porque desafía nuestras expectativas. Algo es gracioso porque ofrece un respiro temporal de la dificultad de ver el mundo tal y como es. Algo es gracioso porque es capaz de sugerirnos amablemente que incluso la peor de nuestras circunstancias y pecados está sujeta a una eventual misericordia.

• Mi teoría es que todo se fue al infierno con la Prohibición, porque era una ley que nadie podía obedecer. Así que todo el concepto de Estado de Derecho se corrompió en ese momento. Luego vino Vietnam, y la marihuana, que claramente no debería ser ilegal, pero lo es. Si vas a la cárcel diez años en Texas cuando te enciendes un porro, ¿quién eres? Eres un infractor de la ley. Es igual que la Prohibición. Cuando la gente acepta violar la ley como algo normal, algo le pasa a toda la sociedad, ¿ves?

• The lumbermen...regarded forest devastation as normal and second growth as a delusion of fools....And as for sustained yield, no such idea had ever entered their heads. The few friends the forest had were spoken of, when they were spoken of at all, as impractical theorists, fanatics, or "denudatics," more or less touched in the head. What talk there was about forest protection was no more to the average American that the buzzing of a mosquito, and just about as irritating.

• Every year it seems to me I hear complaints about spring. It is either "late" or "unusually cold," "abnormally dry" or "fantastically wet," for no one is ever willing to admit that there is no such thing as a normal spring.

• We stand for a living wage. Wages are subnormal if they fail to provide a living for those who devote their time and energy to industrial occupations. The monetary equivalent of a living wage varies according to local conditions, but must include enough to secure the elements of a normal standard of living-a standard high enough to make morality possible, to provide for education and recreation, to care for immature members of the family, to maintain the family during periods of sickness, and to permit of reasonable saving for old age.
