Normal Means

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or means:

    Nothing is poetical if plain daylight is not poetical; and no monster should amaze us if the normal man does not amaze.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Prosecutors insist they are mounting a “thorough investigation,” which sometimes means thorough and sometimes, historically, has meant long enough to let the fire burn down in an incendiary case. A thorough investigation is fine; an interminable one is disgraceful.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
