Madness doesn't happen to someone alone. Very few people have experiences that are theirs alone.

Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.

People are always selling the idea that people with mental illness are suffering. I think madness can be an escape. If things are not so good, you maybe want to imagine something better.

Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit by it are the insane.

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.

In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

I'm not sure there's a method to my madness.
