The adjuration to be “normal” seems shockingly repellent to me

The adjuration to be “normal” seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level. I think it is ignorance that makes people think of abnormality only with horror and allows them to remain undismayed at the proximity of “normal” to average and mediocre. For surely anyone who achieves anything is, essentially, abnormal. – Dr. Karl Menninger, “The Human Mind”, 1930
