The passion to interpret as madness that with which we disagree seems to have infected the best of contemporary minds Picture Quote #1

Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at; and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does Picture Quote #1

Why is it honesty when a man speaks his mind and madness when a woman does? Picture Quote #1

Does it seem that everything is extravagance in the world, or rather madness, when you watch the way things go? A crowd of rogues enjoy blessings they have won by sheer injustice, while more honest folks are miserable and die of hunger Picture Quote #1

To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices Picture Quote #1

If in madness of delusion, anyone shall lift his parricidal hand against this blessed union, the arms of thousands will be raised to save it, and the curse of millions will fall upon the head which may have plotted its destruction Picture Quote #1

How crazy craziness makes everyone, how irrationally afraid. The madness hidden in each of us, called to, identified, aroused like a lust. And against that the jaw sets. The more I fear my own insanity the more I must punish yours Picture Quote #1

Mystical state, madness, how it frightens people. How utterly crazy they become, remote, rude, peculiar, cruel, taunting, farouche as wild beasts who have smelled danger, the unthinkable Picture Quote #1

Madness, as I understood it from books, meant a person who was open to the high white whine of everything Picture Quote #1

I know this much: if you gotta write, honey, you gotta write. Some call it a disease, some a madness. Ah, but I call it love Picture Quote #1

I hate restaurants that play music. You come out for a quiet meal, and you’re supposed to put up with all this booming. Why? It’s madness! Picture Quote #1

Acid gave me a clinical, unblinking look at madness, and I discovered I wasn’t brave enough to be insane Picture Quote #1

For madness must be punished in a world in which mere sanity is prized. The revenge of the ordinary upon the gifted Picture Quote #1
