The problem of living is at bottom an economic one. And this alone is bad enough, even in a period of so-called "normalcy. " But living has been considerably complicated of late in various ways - by war, by questions of personal liberty, and by "menaces" of one kind or another.
I love the normalcy of Cleveland. There's regular people there.
Normalcy was a majority concept, the standard of many and not the standard of just one man.

Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.
Seth gave her that: a private space to believe in the illusion of normalcy.
I think the Democrats are right to protest, but I don't think Jeff Sessions is so far out of the range of normalcy that he shouldn't be confirmed.
He wondered if normalcy was something, like vision or silence, you didn't realize was precious until you lost it.
Designers can create normalcy out of chaos; they can clearly communicate ideas through the organising and manipulating of words and pictures.

So, this is how it's become? This is how I've become? A walking contradiction? I'm surrounded by people and feel alone. I claim to crave a bit of normalcy but now that I have some, it's like I don't know what to do with it, I don't know how to be a normal person anymore.
I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.

The stigmatized individual is asked to act so as to imply neither that his burden is heavy nor that bearing it has made him different from us; at the same time he must keep himself at that remove from us which assures our painlessly being able to confirm this belief about him. Put differently, he is advised to reciprocate naturally with an acceptance of himself and us, an acceptance of him that we have not quite extended to him in the first place. A PHANTOM ACCEPTANCE is thus allowed to provide the base for a PHANTOM NORMALCY.
