Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.

One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

The sole difference between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad!

Now this is the point. You fancy me a mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded...

I mean, maybe I am crazy. I mean, maybe. But if this is all there is, then I don't want to be sane.

Was everybody seeing this stuff and acting as though they weren't? Was insanity just a matter of dropping the act?
