Normal Behaviour

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or behaviour:

    “Philosophically, incest asks a fundamental question of our shifting mores: not simply what is normal and what is deviant, but whether such a thing as deviance exists at all in human relationships if they seem satisfactory to those who share them.”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    “... into the novel goes such taste as I have for rational behaviour and social portraiture. The short story, as I see it to be, allows for what is crazy about humanity: obstinacies, inordinate heroisms, “immortal longings.””
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
