Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
I'm drawn to the psychology of really interesting, flawed people.
Irrationality interests me more than anything: sometimes it's very dangerous, but it can be incredibly beautiful.
