Insanity Quotes

A veil of insanity everywhere: Oh why I was born in this age? It is a terrible age Picture Quote #1

War, to sane men at the present day, begins to look like an epidemic insanity, breaking out here and there like the cholera or influenza, infecting men’s brains instead of their bowels Picture Quote #1

Deep in the darkness of passions insanity, I felt taken by lust’s strange inhumanity Picture Quote #1

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that Picture Quote #1

This time I m not going to tell you a story. I’ll just say that insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It’s as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that’s going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don’t understand the language they speak there Picture Quote #1

Einstein wrote that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. That said, is it crazier to repeatedly throw yourself against a window, or to repeatedly open that window, believing the creatures that are throwing themselves against it might come into your house, take a look around, and leave with no hard feelings? Picture Quote #1

Do they see the lethal insanity of a race to the brink of oblivion, and then over the edge? Apparently not. If they did, surely they wouldn’t be racing to begin with. Or is it a simple failure of imagination? One doesn’t like to think such a rudimentary failing could bring about the end, yet Picture Quote #1

Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked. Good mental machinery ought to break its own wheels and levers, if anything is thrust among them suddenly which tends to stop them or reverse their motion. A weak mind does not accumulate force enough to hurt itself; stupidity often saves a man from going mad Picture Quote #1

Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by the removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient Picture Quote #1

There is an area of the mind that could be called unsane, beyond sanity, and yet not insane. Think of a circle with a fine split in it. At one end there’s insanity. You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity Picture Quote #1

I’m simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I’m saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes. It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness Picture Quote #1

I’ve wanted to feel pleasure to the point of insanity. They call it getting high, because it’s wanting to know that higher level, that godlike level. You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can’t buy it, you can’t get it on a street corner, you can’t steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it Picture Quote #1

Very often, I confess, the teller of dreams bores me. His dream could perhaps interest me if it were frankly worked on. But to hear a glorious tale of his insanity! I have not yet clarified, psychoanalytically, this boredom during the recital of other people’s dreams. Perhaps I have retained the stiffness of a rationalist. I do not follow the tale of justified incoherence docilely. I always suspect that part of the stupidities being recounted are invented Picture Quote #1

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule Picture Quote #1

We’re much more controlled now. We were kids back then, we each had our own demons. It was insanity Picture Quote #1

Look, I learned from your uncle that when the universe turns out to be insane, the wise man embraces insanity Picture Quote #1

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. Patriotism is its cult Picture Quote #1

As insanity in a higher sense, is the beginning of all wisdom, so is schizophrenia the beginning of all art, all fantasy Picture Quote #1

Insanity is not a distinct and separate empire; our ordinary life borders upon it, and we cross the frontier in some part of our nature Picture Quote #1

Madness and insanity are two terms that are so vague and relative that you can’t really apportion proper values to them. The only thing I can think of that has any use it functional and dysfunctional. Are you working as well? In which case, it doesn’t matter if you are mad Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me Picture Quote #1

Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair Picture Quote #1

Sex, drugs, and insanity have always worked for me, but I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone Picture Quote #1

All sin is a form of insanity. Satan is the most insane being of all because he still believes he can defeat Go Picture Quote #1

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me Picture Quote #1

I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tenancy to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results Picture Quote #1

But he who knows what insanity is, is sane; whereas insanity can no more be sensible of its own existence, than blindness can see itself Picture Quote #1

I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results Picture Quote #1

A marriage of two independent and equally irritable intelligences seems to me reckless to the point of insanity Picture Quote #1

When you live in the shadow of insanity, the appearance of another mind that thinks and talks as yours does is something close to a blessed event Picture Quote #1
