Quotes ~

• “There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him.” ~ Antonin Artaud
• “What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.” ~ Pedro Calderson de la Barca
• “Love that is not madness is not love.” ~ Pedro Calderson de la Barca

• “The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.” ~ Jean Cocteau

• “Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.” ~ Heinrich Heine

• “A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.” ~ H. L. Mencken

• “Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.” ~ Samuel Richardson
• “Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
• “The first study for the man who wants to be a poet is knowledge of himself, complete: he searches for his soul, he inspects it, he puts it to the test, he learns it. As soon as he has learned it, he must cultivate it! I say that one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of all the senses. All shapes of love suffering, madness. He searches himself, he exhausts all poisons in himself, to keep only the quintessences. Ineffable torture where he needs all his faith, all his superhuman strength, where he becomes among all men the great patient, the great criminal, the great accursed one – and the supreme Scholar! For he reaches the unknown! ....So the poet is actually a thief of Fire!” ~ Arthur Rimbaud

• “Men will always be mad, and those who think they can cure them are the maddest of all.”~ Voltaire

FYI - America's Founding Father Patrick Henry first wife Sarah became mentally ill around 1771. The local doctor and his friends advocated her being locked up in a cell at the public hospital in Williamsburg. Henry, appalled by the windowless brick cell with nothing more than a straw mattress and chamber pot, prepared a private, two-room apartment for her in the basement of their home. He personally cared for her till the end of her life in 1775. She was denied burial in the churchyard because she was possessed by the devil and Henry buried her close to their home and planted a lilac bush beside the grave. ... Brings a deeper appreciation to “Give me Liberty, or give me Death!”.
