“Scripture is our norming norm and tradition is our normed norm and that in a doctrinal controversy Scripture alone has absolute veto power while The Great Tradition (orthodox doctrine) has a vote but not a veto.”
Roger E. Olson“If the norm of the society is corrupted, then objective journalism is corrupted too, for it must not challenge the norm. It must accept the norm.”
David Halberstam, The Powers That Be“Rudeness instantly establishes a set of norms, a set of regulatory orders, authority, and power. To be rude is to go against an established accepted concept or ordered regulation. Thus rudeness could be in kind, a deviation from the norm. Rudeness can also be in kind an instantiation outside a set foundation. A deviation from a norm holds the same set foundation as the norm, their disagreement merely a manner of degrees.”
Dew Platt, The Rudeness of Soul“Procuring the house in Ballister was a desperate bid for respect, for recognition, the ultimate gesture (or sacrifice, as it turned out) that would prove him a worthy successor to the Flo and Walter Prices of the world. To my mind, the Culver was Norm’s way home, the only way he knew. It was an ever-evolving means to an ever-evolving end that eventually ended him. Who or what led Norm down that thorny path—devotion, economic pressures, family cynicism, Beth’s insatiable appetite—has been a topic of endless debate. You can believe what you want to believe. Personally, I don’t think any rational argument under the sun would have deterred Beth’s “messiah” from his mission. If the Ballister acquisition was Norm’s cross, as everyone seems to think it was, then it was Norm who chose to bear that cross. And pride that nailed him to it.”
Ted Gargiulo, The Man Who Invented New Jersey: Collected Stories“Freaks become norms, and norms become extinct. Monster by monster, evolution advanced”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History“Stop being okay with the norm, seek to transform.”
Constance Chuks Friday“If "RACE" becomes the norm, then harmony will not prevail.”
Henry Johnson Jr, Liberian Son“Just as some people may conceal their own sinfulness thus seeming better than the norm, others expose their own sinfulness thus seeming worse than the norm.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy“The trick for introverts is to honor their styles instead of allowing themselves to be swept up by prevailing norms.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
