When you don't fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else's eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you're still standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound. You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can't remove his mask, the bionic man who's missing all his limbs and none of his heart. You are the thing that used to be normal, but that was so long ago, you can't even remember what it was like.
The human race consists of the dangerously insane and such as are not.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
I have a mole in my eye, which is a very specific thing.
I always say I'm one of the most normal abnormal people you'll ever meet. I get embarrassed about how many medals I've won, and I get angry when people presume that because you're gay you've got to wear pink and stilettos and camp it up, or that if you're disabled you should act like a victim and not have a life.
To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.
I always felt like reality was a bizarre place, and everybody was really good at being normal, and I didn't know how to do it.
I'm weird, I do crazy things, it's not like the average norm.
He appears mad indeed but to a few, because the majority is infected with the same disease.
I am very abnormal... But it wasn't very long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.
Gigantic sums are now required to maintain prisons and insane asylums and protect the public against gangsters and lunatics. Why do we preserve these useless and harmful beings? The abnormal prevent development of the normal.
The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that's the most interesting: the part that doesn't go according to what you expected.
Fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm. They cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral.
Everything for me has always been opposites; nothing has ever been in the middle... My life never had anything normal or in the center.
When I was a kid, monsters made me feel that I could fit somewhere, even if it was... an imaginary place where the grotesque and the abnormal were celebrated and accepted.
Viewed up close, nobody is normal.
Sanity is not statistical.
Everything's perverted in a different way.
The normal state of mankind is war and peace is an aberration.
A lot of time mistakes are very interesting - you look for the behaviour that's not the one you expect.
Well Mike, I'm abnormal.
The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
I am not a normal man.
All of us are crazy in one or another way.
Living is abnormal.
The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.
