madness

Take outside - freedom. What is it? What does it mean to a madman? I__l tell you, we go years through a lifetime with no love, no sex, no nice food and no nice clothes. So when it comes_we choke on it! The kindness strangles us; we can__ cope, so we make pigs of ourselves.

To stay sane in a mad world is the real victory.

Never had a decent report in his life!" Tony repeated, hardly able to believe the words. He was thinking, in shocked surprise, that even Tante Bettina did not know how mad the English could be.

You get used to the brain being squeezed. At nighttime in the darkness of your emptiness, it seems to swell back up and gives you some peace. In the darkness even the pain is not so bad. A bruise heals. (Time is the treatment.) But it__ your mind that__ tortured. Your thoughts are in turmoil and despair. Feelings of awesome revenge and destruction manifest themselves.

But only in mad people fear goes on constant night and day, wearing one ditch in the mind that all thoughts must travel in.

There was a fine line between madness and intelligence.

Amid the pointing and the horror, the clean flame.

Crushes are more beautiful than affairs because there is no responsibility, no worry, no commitment. Just look at your crush and smile like an idiot.

Madness is a matter of perspective, little dreamer.

It's madness the sheep to talk peace with the wolf

Tomorrow at seven o'clock a strange phenomenon will occur: the earth is going to sit on the moon. This has also been written about by the noted English chemist Wellington. I confess, I felt troubled at heart when I pictured to myself the extraordinary delicacy and fragility of the moon. For the moon is usually made in Hamburg, and made quite poorly. I'm surprised England doesn't pay attention to this. It's made by a lame cooper, and one can see that the fool understands nothing about the moon. He used tarred rope and a quantity of cheap olive oil, and that's why there's a terrible stench all over the earth, so that you have to hold your nose. And that's why the moon itself is such a delicate sphere that people can't live on it, and now only noses live there. And for the same reason, we can't see our own noses, for they're all in the moon.

Were all mad here

The difference between a drunkard and a madman is 10%.

Madness, Brother Masseo, is the salt which prevents good sense from rotting.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane. - AKIRA KUROSAWA

If I can only see him in madness, is it worth trying to hold onto sanity?

Since I neither want not can influence the events of the world, my mission is to preserve the internal integrity and equilibrium of my mind; that will be in which the manor in which I recover the purity of the original act; I shall be my own citadel, and to it I shall retire to protect myself against a hostile and corrupt world. I shall be my own citadel and, within it, my own and only citizen.

Christ--the quickest way to send a bloke mad is to let him go on re-fighting his war till he gets it right.
