Madness Quotes

It is no madness to say you will fall, you great cities Picture Quote #1

Racing and hunting excite man’s heart to madness Picture Quote #1

Perhaps I am too tame, too domestic a magician. But how does one work up a little madness? I meet with mad people every day in the street, but I never thought before to wonder how they got mad. Perhaps I should go wandering on lonely moors and barren shores. That is always a popular place for lunatics - in novels and plays at any rate. Perhaps wild England will make me mad Picture Quote #1

Anslinger's reefer madness did not caution even the seeds of efficient, intelligent, ruthless action... The same goes for Hoover, sniveling Nixon, the whole miserable, wretchedly evil lot of them... not a man among them who could have pulled off a successful coup in a banana republic Picture Quote #1

So much love, too much love, it is our madness, it is rotting us out, exploding us like dandelion polls Picture Quote #1

It was a good speech, but the reaction was due to the fact that politics are madness, and even if one does not know it, a country in electoral season experiences flares of lunacy like the great storms that sometimes march across the golden surface of the sun Picture Quote #1

The classic business story is much like the classic human story. There is rise and fall; the overcoming of great odds, the upholding of principles despite the cost, questions of rivalry and succession, and even the possibility of descent into madness Picture Quote #1

To say that war is madness is like saying that sex is madness: true enough, from the standpoint of a stateless eunuch, but merely a provocative epigram for those who must make their arrangements in the world as given Picture Quote #1

A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world Picture Quote #1

America has entered one of its periods of historic madness, but this is the worst I can remember Picture Quote #1

For every age there is a popular idea about what madness is, what causes it, and how a mad person should look and behave; and it's usually these popular ideas, rather than those of medical professionals, that turn up in songs and stories and plays and books Picture Quote #1

England looked strange to us returned soldiers. We could not understand the war madness that ran about everywhere, looking for a pseudo-military outlet. The civilians talked a foreign language; and it was newspaper language Picture Quote #1

Hate is a fear, and fear is rot that cankers root and fruit alike, fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not, strike with no madness when you strike Picture Quote #1

Granted that every war is madness - civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all; it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity Picture Quote #1

I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don't know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don't react normally Picture Quote #1

When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge - one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of the abyss. But the word may be misleading. It means many things. Fear. Fear of forgetting. And of remembering. Fear of madness Picture Quote #1

There is wisdom in madness and strong probability of truth in all accusations, for people are complete and everybody is capable of everything Picture Quote #1

Now let's get talking: reefer madness. Like some arrogant government can't, by any stretch of the imagination, outlaw a plant Picture Quote #1

A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free Picture Quote #1

All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim Picture Quote #1

One knows one's madness, by and large. By and large the knowledge is vacuous. The notion of naming the beast to conquer it is the idiot optimism of psychotherapy Picture Quote #1

Great minds that are healthy are never considered geniuses, while this sublime qualification is lavished on brains that are often inferior but are slightly touched by madness Picture Quote #1

The moon was gone, but to the magician's eyes the unicorn was the moon, cold and white and very old, lighting his way to safety, or to madness Picture Quote #1

But a lonely man is an unnatural man, and soon comes to perplexity. From perplexity to fantasy. From fantasy to madness Picture Quote #1

Envying another man's happiness is madness; you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it Picture Quote #1

Women seemed to him to be in possession of all kinds of undesirable properties, chiefly madness Picture Quote #1

There nearly always is a method in madness. It’s what drives men mad, being methodical Picture Quote #1

We all fear loneliness, madness, dying. Shakespeare and Walt Whitman, Leopardi and Hart Crane will not cure those fears. And yet these poets bring us fire and light Picture Quote #1

I see now the virtue in madness, for this country knows no law nor any boundary. I pity the poor shades confined to the Euclidean prison that is sanity Picture Quote #1

Cruelty, if we consider it as a crime, is the greatest of all; if we consider it as a madness, we are equally justifiable in applying to it the readiest and the surest means of oppression Picture Quote #1
