- Philip K. Dick99◆ There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
- Friedrich Nietzsche99◆ My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
- André Breton99◆ Sanity is a madness put to good uses.
- George Santayana99◆ No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.
- Aristotle99◆ I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
- Khalil Gibran99◆ First sign of madness, talking to your own head.
- J.K. Rowling99◆ Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.
- Philip K. Dick99◆ In a mad world, only the mad are sane.
- Akira Kurosawa99◆ All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.
- Yann Martel99◆ ...But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.
- Winston Churchill99◆ Why this is very midsummer madness.
- William Shakespeare98◆ Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively
- Voltaire98◆ One is very crazy when in love.
- Sigmund Freud98◆ Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.
- Janet Long98
