It is always the exception that sets the rule.

About This Quote

The exception that sets the rule is the exception, not the rule. This relates to statistics and probability. If you take a group of people and ask them how many people they know who have a particular trait, you will find that there is one person for every ten people. Most likely that person will be an exception to the rule. It is very unusual for someone to be that way, but it does happen.
