When a man lacks mental balance in pneumonia he is said to be delirious. When he lacks mental balance without the pneumonia, he is pronounced insane by all smart doctors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.
Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness.
Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.
Once you're labeled as mentally ill, and that's in your medical notes, then anything you say can be discounted as an artefact of your mental illness.
The thing about delirium is you think it's great, but it actually isn't.
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.
When you are insane, you are busy being insane - all the time.
I am mentally strong, but physically I'm constantly unwell. I internalise a lot of things, and if something stresses me or disturbs me, I don't talk about it and make myself sick with it.
The difference between a healthy person and one who is mentally ill is the fact that the healthy one has all the mental illnesses, and the mentally ill person has only one.
