“All of us prayed for normal. But so far, normal only meant more misery.”

“And because, well, normal is a fantasy far more ridiculous than a secret school of wizards. Nobody's normal - and those who insist they are are broken people.”

“This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.”

“There is no normal. I've never met a normal person. The concept is flawed. It implies that there is only one way people are supposed to be, and that can't possible be true. Human experience is far too varied.”

“Tomorrow we go back to normal?""Sure," Mab said. "It'll be like none of this happened. Except I'll still be pregnant, and you'll still be making dragons, and Glenda will still be pretending that Dreamland is Cancun, and Weaver will still own the only green velvet demon in captivity. Other than that, perfectly normal.""I just meant no demons trying to kill us," Cindy said. "My baseline for normal is a lot lower than yours.”

“What makes us the most normal," said Reiko, "is knowing that we're not normal.”
