Quote by Terry Pratchett
The Deftmenes are mad and the Dumii are sane, thought Snibril, and that's just the same as being mad except that it's quieter. If only you could mix them together, you'd end up with normal people.
Summary
This quote highlights the contrasting behaviors and attitudes of two groups of people, the Deftmenes being described as mad and the Dumii as sane. Snibril, the protagonist, contemplates that while the Deftmenes' madness is more noticeable, the Dumii's sanity is merely a quieter form of madness. Snibril suggests that a combination of their characteristics would result in "normal" individuals. This implies that true normalcy lies in having a balance between vibrant creativity and rational thinking, suggesting that extremes of either end might be less desirable.
