One might define adulthood as the age at which a person learns he must die and accepts his sentence undismayed.

Robert A. Heinlein

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
