The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.
Well, sanity, I suppose, is getting people to see the world your way.
Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
There's certainly a side of me that isn't completely... sane. Or completely 'even' all the time. We all have our dark sides.

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.
I feel that everyone has a right to be insane.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
