Madness!

Gentle Madness“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you ca’n’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here.”
– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
– Anonymous

No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
– Aristotle

Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting.
– John Russell

So reports of my madness, as they say, were greatly exaggerated. Not that I give a bugger either way.
– David Icke
