“They desert you even when you are alive, O madman; what good can they do when someone is dead?”
Atharva Veda
“Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!”
Kabir
“You can never tire, never wilt-and become half-tyrant, half-psychiatrist, half-madman, and half-dead to get it the way you want. Which I did. And it almost killed me.”
Dirk Benedict
“There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.”
Salvador Dalí
“The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad”
“One man with an idea in his head is in danger of being considered a madman: two men with the same idea in common may be foolish, but can hardly be mad; ten men sharing an idea begin to act, a hundred draw attention as fanatics, a thousand and society begins to tremble, a hundred thousand and there is war abroad, and the cause has victories tangible and real; and why only a hundred thousand? Why not a hundred million and peace upon the earth? You and I who agree together, it is we who have to answer that question.”
William Morris
“The tiny madman in his padded cell.”
Vladimir Nabokov
