What’s the difference in meaning between those two?
1. Those abnormal minds are quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person.”
2. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person.”
Thanks!

"The abnormal mind" refers to an abnormal way of thinking, in general. It does not refer to a particular person or group of persons. This is because "mind" in this context refers to "way of thinking." Whether this way of thinking is possessed by a certain person/group is immaterial.
