Somewhere in the middle of the second glass that Mad Sweeney himself began to throw both details and irrelevancies into Ibis's narrative (" ... such a girl she was, with breasts cream-colored and spackled with freckles, with the tips of them the rich reddish pink of the sunrise on a day when it'll be bucketing down before noon but glorious again by supper ... ") and then Sweeney was trying, with both hands, to explain the history of the gods in Ireland, wave after wave of them as they came in from Gaul and from Spain and from every damn place, each wave of them transforming the last gods into trolls and fairies and every damn creature until Holy Mother Church herself arrived and every god in Ireland was transformed into a fairy or a saint or a dead king without so much as a by-your-leave ... Mr. ~ Neil Gaiman
Mad Sweeney quotes by Neil Gaiman
If you can't eat it, drink it, smoke it, or snort it... then f*ck it! ~ Neil Gaiman
Mad Sweeney quotes by Neil Gaiman
I need to know how you did it it.
I did it, said Sweeney, with the air of one confiding a huge secret, witch panache and style. That's how I did it.
(Shadow & Mad Sweeney) ~ Neil Gaiman
Mad Sweeney quotes by Neil Gaiman
I only met Mad Sweeney twice, alive," he said. "The first time I thought he was a world-class jerk with the devil in him. The second time I thought he was a major fuckup and I gave him the money to kill himself. He showed me a coin trick I don't remember how to do, gave me some bruises, and claimed he was a leprechaun. Rest in peace, Mad Sweeney. ~ Neil Gaiman
Mad Sweeney quotes by Neil Gaiman
back in the middle ages
they burned unruly women at the stake
and out of the ashes of their bones and flesh
rose the Enlightenment and Reason fresh
and the white men declared
there's no such thing as witches
they're just crazy psycho-bitches
but we certainly can't let them run free
lock 'em up and throw away the key
yeah they said: lock 'em up and throw away the key

cause there's nothing scarier than a woman mad and/or
aware of her own magic
tragic how much violence is done
in the name of science
to ensure our silence

in Victorian times they located suffering in our uterus
in the blood in the soft internal organs
took our pain our righteous rage
they called it 'hysteria'
and then Dr. Freud ignored women's horror stories
herstories of abuse and rape and
took a justified hatred of the penis and called it
envy (he sold more books that way) ~ Leah Harris
Mad Sweeney quotes by Leah Harris
For the first time Neil appreciated Andrew's apathy. In a stadium gone mad and with too much on the line tonight, Neil finally saw Andrew as the crucial eye of the storm. Because Andrew refused to get caught up in this, he was the only person on the court with a cool head. ~ Nora Sakavic
Mad Sweeney quotes by Nora Sakavic
A first kiss in the book stacks. Now that was romantic. ~ D'Aprix Sweeney, Cynthia
Mad Sweeney quotes by D'Aprix Sweeney, Cynthia
But instead of thinking about my book and how to write it, as I go pacing the floor, I fall to counting my footsteps until I feel about to go mad. ~ Thomas Bernhard
Mad Sweeney quotes by Thomas Bernhard
Why am I compelled to write? ... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger ... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit ... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing. ~ Gloria E Anzaldua
Mad Sweeney quotes by Gloria E Anzaldua
Don't tell anyone at the church this, but I think girls going out with girls is quite sensible. Imagine not having to do all the housework, and if you found a nice girl the same size you'd have double the wardrobe and you'd never have to shave your legs or clean whiskers out of the sink. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. Not it's fine, provided you stay that way. It's the changing back to men that sends you mad. ~ Toni Jordan
Mad Sweeney quotes by Toni Jordan
I looked up affirmative action once in Wikipedia, and it said, 'A measure by which white men are discriminated against,' and I got so mad. ~ Gloria Steinem
Mad Sweeney quotes by Gloria Steinem
Insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting different results. ~ Starhawk
Mad Sweeney quotes by Starhawk
All my life, people have asked me what I was so mad about. 'Why you so mad?' And I was never mad. I'm not mad, I just look mad. ~ M. C. Gainey
Mad Sweeney quotes by M. C. Gainey
I can make you feel touched." He paused. "It would be easier if I showed you. Do I have permission?"
Yes. "No." Being touched by Mad Rogan wasn't a good idea.
We kept walking. What would it be like?"
"Does it hurt?"
"No."
How would it feel?
Would it feel . . . oh hell.
"Okay." I stopped. We were in front of a small alcove. Nobody was around. If I made an idiot out of myself, nobody would notice. "Just once."
A soft burst of heat touched the back of my neck. I'd never felt anything like it before. It was as if someone had touched me with a heated mink glove, but the touch wasn't soft, it was firm. It felt . . . it felt . . .
The heat slid down my neck, fast, over my spine, setting every single nerve on fire before melting in the small of my back, its echoes pulsing through me. My body sang. He'd strummed me like I was a guitar. I wanted him and I wanted him now.
"That was . . ." I saw his eyes. Words died.
All the hardness had vanished from his eyes. They were alive and heated from within. "You want me."
"What?"
The magic warmth slid over my shoulders, melting into pure pleasure.
"I feel the feedback." He took a step toward me, grinning. "Nevada, you're a liar."
Uh-oh. I backed up. "What feedback?"
"When I do this . . ." The heated pressure zinged from my back up my ribs. I gasped. Oh dear God. ". . . what you feel loops back to me. I'm partially emphatic."
"You didn't mention that." My heart ~ Ilona Andrews
Mad Sweeney quotes by Ilona Andrews
Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mad Sweeney quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
And being men, hearing the will of Caesar,
It will inflame you, it will make you mad. ~ William Shakespeare
Mad Sweeney quotes by William Shakespeare
There is the heat of her beautiful smile , the pulsing rush of Longing, the irresistible magic to make man go mad ... ~ Imran Shaikh
Mad Sweeney quotes by Imran Shaikh
I have gone through the most terrible affair that could possibly happen; only imagine, my shadow has gone mad; I suppose such a poor, shallow brain, could not bear much; he fancies that he has become a real man, and that I am his shadow. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Mad Sweeney quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
A book collector is mad enough to begin with, Watson; but tempt him with some such bait as this Shakespeare quarto and he is bereft of all sanity. ~ Vincent Starrett
Mad Sweeney quotes by Vincent Starrett
I love real books, paper books, but I also love buying online, and I think that people are more willing to take a chance to read something if it's cheaper - sometimes books on the Kindle are $6. A hardback book is $25. For $25, it better be a really great book. Or you're going to be mad. ~ Caroline Leavitt
Mad Sweeney quotes by Caroline Leavitt
Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there. Assemble yourself with wild things, with songs of the sparrow and sea-foam. Let mad beauty collect itself in your eyes and it will shine - Calling me. For I long for a man with nests of wild things in his hair. A man who will Kiss the Flame. ~ Jewel
Mad Sweeney quotes by Jewel
make use of some such alarm signals as mad-doctors adopt in dealing with their distracted patients; as by beating several times on a glass with the blade of a knife, fixing them at the same time with a sharp word and a compelling glance, violent methods which the said doctors are apt to bring with them into their everyday life among the sane, either from force of professional habit or because they think the whole world a trifle mad. Their ~ Marcel Proust
Mad Sweeney quotes by Marcel Proust
To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It's irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober. ~ Eugene O'Neill
Mad Sweeney quotes by Eugene O'Neill
I am so mad with love that mad men say to me - be still! ~ Rumi
Mad Sweeney quotes by Rumi
Someone stole my wallet last week. The guy called me up and he was mad at me. He was like 'you gotta get your finances together. You got no cash, your credit cards are maxed out. You don't even have minutes on your calling card. I had to use my card to call you.' ~ Mike Birbiglia
Mad Sweeney quotes by Mike Birbiglia
We humans have always needed rituals to draw like curtains over the chasms of the unknown. Without them we go mad, I think. ~ Patricia J. Williams
Mad Sweeney quotes by Patricia J. Williams
He suddenly saw the enterprise of literature as essentially mad. ~ Mark Beauregard
Mad Sweeney quotes by Mark Beauregard
I am mad the way young girls are mad,
with an offering, an offering. ~ Anne Sexton
Mad Sweeney quotes by Anne Sexton
The whole notion of sanity may be an attempt to medicalize morality - to speak of the good in the language of health: to make us more accurate, more scientific in our wanting - but by the same token it becomes a form of moral blackmail. It is as if to say: if these are not valued - if these forms of wanting and feeling and speaking and doing - are not cultivated and encouraged and rewarded in the child, then the child will be mad. ~ Adam Phillips
Mad Sweeney quotes by Adam Phillips
Memories sharp enough to cut himself on - the smells, the sounds, the feel of the air on his skin, the desperate hope and mad anger. ~ Joe Abercrombie
Mad Sweeney quotes by Joe Abercrombie
Don't get even, get mad. ~ Frank Sinatra
Mad Sweeney quotes by Frank Sinatra
He has been mad for you these many months, ever since you prodded him in the nether regions with a hedgehog. ~ Gail Carriger
Mad Sweeney quotes by Gail Carriger
Are you ... " "Lovers? Yes, occasionally," Diana said calmly. I blushed. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Are you mad at me?" "Why? Am I jealous? No. I love the butterfly. That doesn't make me jealous of the flowers. ~ Mark Henwick
Mad Sweeney quotes by Mark Henwick
Peggy, just think about it. Deeply. Then forget it. And an idea will jump up in your face. ~ Don Draper
Mad Sweeney quotes by Don Draper
I have read and re-read the Arusha Declaration and found nothing wrong with it except perhaps replacing a few commas here and there ... it was clear for some of us that it would only be a mad man who would stand up and defend the Arusha Declaration. ~ Julius Nyerere
Mad Sweeney quotes by Julius Nyerere
Well, here were the ugly facts. She had no mad-ninja-skillz to rely on and her family didn't know where she was. She didn't know where she was. The only way she was leaving was if this creature allowed it. ~ Danielle Monsch
Mad Sweeney quotes by Danielle Monsch
POLONIUS My lord, the queen would speak with you, and presently.
HAMLET Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
POLONIUS By th'mass, and 'tis like a camel indeed.
HAMLET Methinks it is like a weasel.
POLONIUS It is backed like a weasel.
HAMLET Or like a whale?
POLONIUS Very like a whale.
HAMLET Then I will come to my mother by and by. - They fool me to the top of my bent. - I will come by and by. ~ William Shakespeare
Mad Sweeney quotes by William Shakespeare
And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will yes. ~ James Joyce
Mad Sweeney quotes by James Joyce
The truth, though is that Cantor's work and its context are so totally interesting and beautiful that there's no need for breathless Prometheusizing of the poor guy's life. The real irony is that the view of (Infinity) as some forbidden zone or road to insanity-which view was very old and powerful and haunted math for 2000+ years- is precisely what Cantor's own work overturned. Saying that (Infinity) drove Cantor mad is sort of like mourning St. George's loss to the dragon: it's not only wrong but insulting. ~ David Foster Wallace
Mad Sweeney quotes by David Foster Wallace
If we could assemble our words, merge those inside and out, we would be startled to find that we speak but a tenth of what we think. And yet, each of us presumes to expect that the other understands – indeed, hears both the spoken and the unspoken.
Mad presumption! ~ Steven Erikson
Mad Sweeney quotes by Steven Erikson
We played every bar, party, pub, hotel lounge, church hall, mining town - places that made Mad Max territory look like a Japanese garden. ~ Michael Hutchence
Mad Sweeney quotes by Michael Hutchence
No offense, right. "No offense" stood for "I'm going to insult you, but you can't be mad at me. ~ Ilona Andrews
Mad Sweeney quotes by Ilona Andrews
The few psychiatrists I respect always talk about people being mad. Use the short, simple, true words... "Mad" has the right sound to it. It's an ordinary word, a word which tells us how lunacy might come and call like a delivery van. ~ Julian Barnes
Mad Sweeney quotes by Julian Barnes
Listen!"
"Ludwig was mad, bro
But he was also bad, bro,
Was his own 'Iliad,' bro ... "
"Jonah!" Amy breathed. ~ Jude Watson
Mad Sweeney quotes by Jude Watson
It's a little mad, but I believe I am many people. When I am writing a poem, I feel I am the person who should have written it. ~ Anne Sexton
Mad Sweeney quotes by Anne Sexton
In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point, I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter. ~ Ben Carson
Mad Sweeney quotes by Ben Carson
Listen, if a man turns up outside a girl's house he's probably mad about her... or he's passing time until something better comes along... All you need to know is if you're tough enough to live with the worst of the two outcomes. (pg 274) ~ Ayisha Malik
Mad Sweeney quotes by Ayisha Malik
Trust in the fictive process, in the occult interweaving of text and event must be unwavering and absolute. This is the magic place, the mad place at the spark gap between word and world. ~ Alan Moore
Mad Sweeney quotes by Alan Moore
For her, from the Tiber down, there, there beyond the crumbling castles, and after the blond vineyards, there was, on the hills and mountains, and in the brief plains of Italy, a kind of great fertile womb, two swollen Eustachian tubes, streaked with an abundance of granules, the granular and greasy, the happy caviar of the race. From time to time, from the great Ovary ripened follicles opened, like pomegranate seeds: and red grains, mad with amorous certitude, descended upon the city, to encounter the male afflatus, the vitalizing impulse, that spermatic aura of which the ovarists of the eighteenth century wrote their fantastic treatise. ~ Carlo Emilio Gadda
Mad Sweeney quotes by Carlo Emilio Gadda
What is it about meter and cadence and rhythm that makes their makers mad? ~ Susanna Kaysen
Mad Sweeney quotes by Susanna Kaysen
I'm the age where we didn't have television as kids. So when I saw my nieces and nephews watching Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and so forth, I thought the world had gone mad. ~ Jack Nicholson
Mad Sweeney quotes by Jack Nicholson
