“The tiny madman in his padded cell.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Logan Pearsall Smith
“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
“Only the madman is absolutely sure”
Robert Anton Wilson
“Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!”
Kabir
