#Sanity

"Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don't see a different purpose for it now."

"Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

"You've got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity."

"When you're the only sane person, you look like the only insane person."

"Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination."

"قال لنفسه إنه لا نجاة له إلا بالجنون. الجنون وحده هو الذي يتسع للإيمان والكفر، للمجد والخزي، للحب والخداع، للصدق والكذب، أما العقل فكيف يتحمل هذه الحياة الغريبة؟ كيف يشيم ألق النجوم وهو مغروس حتى قمة رأسه في الوحل؟!"

"I think bands, when they're on the road, they keep their sanity by developing an internal sense of humor."

"Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity."

"Where to look if you've lost your mind?"

"Some of us walk around with a necklace of hope, an armour of sanity, but at the end of the day, they always come off. We reveal our naked, vulnerable, real selves."

"The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity; there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep."

"Here lies a gentleman boldWho was so very braveHe went to lengths untold,And on the brink of the graveDeath had on him no hold.By the world he set small store--He frightened it to the core--Yet somehow, by Fate's plan,Though he'd lived a crazy man,When he died he was sane once more."

"I wonder if being sane means disregarding the chaos that is life, pretending only an infinitesimal segment of it is reality."

"Animals do it largely for the REPRODUCTION, but so-called Social Animals (People) do it regularly thinking that it will give them SATISFACTION."

"At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation."

"I really believe, or want to believe, really I am nuts, otherwise I'll never be sane."

"But maybe that isn't possible. Maybe the mind of the majority is always the healthy mind, simply by virtue of its numbers. Maybe it's the definition of madness to believe I'm right and everyone else if wrong, to find my thoughts rational and reasonable when almost the entire world finds them damaged and flawed."

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

"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."

"Much Madness Is Divinest SenseMuch Madness is divinest Sense —To a discerning Eye —Much Sense — the starkest Madness —'Tis the MajorityIn this, as All, prevail —Assent — and you are sane —Demur — you're straightway dangerous —And handled with a Chain —"
