“Intimacy is the only shield against insanity. Intimacy, not knowledge. Intimacy, not power.”
― Eliot Schrefer, The Darkness Outside Us

“Refugiei-me na doideira porque a razão não me bastava.”
― Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life

“I have sometimes half believed, although the suspicion is mortifying, that there is only one step between his state who deeply indulges in imaginative meditation, and insanity.”
― Benjamin Disraeli, Contarini Fleming; A Psychological Romance and the Rise of Iskander

“We are all too often robbed of an opportunity to squeeze joy out of life by the result of our desire to create or perpetuate the impression that we are not stupid, childish, or crazy.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment. He is not hampered by a sense of humor or by charity, or by the dumb certainties of experience. He is the more logical for losing certain sane affections. Indeed, the common phrase for insanity is in this respect a misleading one. The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason.”
― Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“It is from the ranks of the neo-intellectuals that we develop our parlor socialists, our “modernists” in poetry and letters, and those arm-chair anarchists who have theoretical explanations for every circumstance of living. The Mercurial person must take careful stock of himself and make sure that he contributes nothing to the inanities of the day.”
― Manly P. Hall

“At times we do crazy things. They make no sense. It reminds me of the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. People credit that to Einstein. I think it is true. I think people are painfully ignorant of how much they do the same thing but expect different results. Maybe willfully ignorant? However, this is a good thing. We are naturally created to do the same thing over and over. That is called consistency. My goal is to align our natural tendency with the ideas in this book, causing an adjustment to our actions which will produce a more propitious “same result”.”
― Dexter A. Daniels, Consistent, Not Different: Why We Stray from the Path and Reasons to Return

“The desert is too quiet place for our thoughts.”
― Mladen Đorđević, �Ѿ�����ž

“The winter solstice really knows how to put on a show; or maybe ...it was love in another individual perspective. A spitting image of one’s madness that love exist.”
― Candy Lee

“The lion on the left had advanced all the way to the fence now; its muzzle was touching the boards. It seemed to be grinning at him. Jack backed up another two steps. His head was thudding crazily and he could feel the dry rasp of his breath in his throat. Now the buffalo had moved, circling to the right, behind and around the rabbit. The head was lowered, the green hedge horns pointing at him. The thing was, you couldn't watch all of them. Not all at once.”
― Stephen King, The Shining

“Thrive on maintaining your insanity; if you haven't found it yet, I suggest you keep looking and not settle until you do.”
― Omar Cherif

“Dear,
Hope

Let me stay tormented
The fruit of sanity is forbidden
I have fucked enough poetries
to know how language
Exaggerates, how it deceives”
― Yarro Rai, Abyss :

“... pe vremea grecilor exista Aristotel, cel care - e lăsat scris - mergea la spitalul de nebuni, cânta ceva în modul frigian și oamenii se duceau sănătoși acasă... mai fă ceva așa astăzi...”
― Dan Andrei Aldea

“My genius is crumbling. I’m not complaining; it’s just that it hurts”
― Sophie Podolski, Le pays où tout est permis / The Country Where Everything Is Permitted

“I’m a chattering blackbird—I’m a puddle of oil—I’m a child sitting on the floor wanting to be rewarded. ... (We are never more than assistants to the void).”
― Sophie Podolski, Le pays où tout est permis / The Country Where Everything Is Permitted

“Tell me friend an honest answer
Who is insane and who is not?
Are we pursuing a kind path?
Or are we shadowing insanity?”
― Vinod Varghese Antony, Songs of the Rooks

“My job didn't involve working directly with patients, but I thought about them a lot. I saw them as victims of our fucked-up, materialistic, impersonal, hectic, over-mechanized, dehumanizing society. There wasn't much mystery about why these people were so screwed up. The mystery was why everyone else wasn't nuts too. But somehow I never figured it could ever happen to me, that I could some day be shuffling around in slippers and pajamas, bumming cigarettes and mumbling to myself. There were too many people who loved me, who would never commit me to an institution, whose love would keep me from getting that spaced out.”
― Mark Vonnegut, The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity

“What does Jarett really think about the Crusaders? Does he control them? If he doesn't like what they're doing, he should make some effort to stop them. He shouldn't want them to make their insanity part of his political image.

On the other hand, one way to make people afraid of you is to have a crazy side--a side of yourself or your organization that's dangerous and unpredictable--willing to do any damned thing.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

“a lot of those people probably have felonies because of the drug laws that Joe Biden passed and they can't get a job... but Hunter Biden... he can get jobs with his drug past. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SORRY FOR HIM!”
― Jimmy Dore

“And who with any theatrical sense doesn’t like a little crazy?”
― Sol Luckman, Cali the Destroyer

“Our dreams and nightmares are kept apart by this thin line of sanity. Some of us are just fortunate that we only cross that line in our sleep.”
― Wiss Auguste

“Long ago they lowered insane persons into snake pits; they thought that an experience that might drive a sane person out of his wits might send an insane person back into sanity.”
― Mary Jane Ward, The Snake Pit

“Wie ich mir seit Jahren einbilde, ein Dichter zu sein, bilde ich mir seit Jahren ein, verrückt zu werden. Doch man wird leichter verrückt, als daß man ein Dichter wird, auch wenn viele große Dichter verrückt geworden sind. Erst haben sie geschrieben, dann sind sie verrückt geworden. Aber ich könnte verrückt werden, weil ich nichts geschrieben habe.”
― Karlheinz Deschner, Die Nacht steht um mein Haus: Roman

“Insanity lives in our hearts. But those insane have a brain similar to their hearts.”
― Rishabh Dubey, Krikos: The Vertical Horizon

“A certified, bona fide nutcase': Although he was indeed someone, he believed that he was more of a nut than a man. He just needed somebody to break him, to make him lovelier, but that somebody had to be even nuttier.”
― Criss Jami

“By any reasonable definition of the term, the Archons are crazy.”
― Sol Luckman, Cali the Destroyer

“Putting caffeine in our body puts us in the shoes of the insane.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Zane hasn't done anything,' I protest. 'He's been helping me.'
Cecilia looks at me, the gun still level in her hand. 'But don't you see, baby girl? He's only going to hurt you in the end. They all are...”
― Cynthia Omololu

“Sometimes a person has an out-of-mind experience.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
