Anyway, these ideas or feelings or ramblings had their satisfactions. They turned the pain of others into memories of one's own. They turned pain, which is natural, enduring, and eternally triumphant, into personal memory, which is human, brief, and eternally elusive. They turned a brutal story of injustice and abuse, an incoherent howl with no beginning or end, into a neatly structured story in which suicide was always held out as a possibility. They turned flight into freedom, even if freedom meant no more than the perpetuation of flight. They turned chaos into order, even if it was at the cost of what is commonly known as sanity. ~ Roberto Bolano
Sanity Insanity quotes by Roberto Bolano
All stories are love stories, and there are numerous kinds of love, from the love of a mother holding her child for the first time to the love of blood that drives a psychopath, so I will always write about love, but not necessarily romance. Let the saner people do that. ~ Alcatraz Dey
Sanity Insanity quotes by Alcatraz Dey
My feeling is that sanity is actually a pretence, a way we learn to behave. We keep this pretence up because we don't want to be rejected by other people - and being classified insane is to be shut out of the group in a very complete way. ~ Keith Johnstone
Sanity Insanity quotes by Keith Johnstone
Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad. ~ Diogenes
Sanity Insanity quotes by Diogenes
Then he heard a wild, high-pitched cackling that made the hair stand up on the back of his neck. It wasn't sane, that laugh. In fact, it was the laughter of someone who never had more than a nodding acquaintance with sanity. ~ Mercedes Lackey
Sanity Insanity quotes by Mercedes Lackey
We are the road that winds down a sound mind, then slips into the sea. ~ Anthony Liccione
Sanity Insanity quotes by Anthony Liccione
You never know what lurks just beneath the surface of my fragile sanity. ~ Ashly Lorenzana
Sanity Insanity quotes by Ashly Lorenzana
Because we are limited in our knowledge, even the sanest of us are slightly insane. Our limitations are a kind of madness, and we can only choose to deny we are mad, and so descend into a dark spiral of total insanity, or accept we are mad and embark on a quest to regain our true and wholesome sanity ~ Dwight Longenecker
Sanity Insanity quotes by Dwight Longenecker
Sometimes you have to go a little crazy before you can find sanity. I think I'm close. ~ Tawny Lara
Sanity Insanity quotes by Tawny Lara
Madness is like an alternative residence. When sanity chases you out of home, take shelter in madness. ~ Munia Khan
Sanity Insanity quotes by Munia Khan
Music is my therapy and my straitjacket. Music keeps me sane and keeps my mind on something. It's fragile up there. ~ Will.i.am
Sanity Insanity quotes by Will.i.am
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Sanity Insanity quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
There are essential and inessential insanities. The later are solar in character, the former are linked to the moon. ~ Tom Robbins
Sanity Insanity quotes by Tom Robbins
Sanity involves a certain measure of impersonation, not simply for the benefit of husband and servants but for the sake, first and foremost, of one's own convictions. ~ Michael Cunningham
Sanity Insanity quotes by Michael Cunningham
I know there is a thin silver line between the sane and the insane, and even in that realm of madness, there are degrees of reason, fluttering moments of clarity and truth. Maybe the world can't handle the their truth. Maybe we are too weak. Maybe, like Sloth used to say, It's the blind who see the most. ~ Julie Cantrell
Sanity Insanity quotes by Julie Cantrell
If I can only see him in madness, is it worth trying to hold onto sanity? ~ Beth Revis
Sanity Insanity quotes by Beth Revis
It is not only useless, it is harmful, to believe in oneself until one truly knows oneself. And to know oneself means to accept our moments of insanity, of eccentricity, of childishness and blindness. ~ Sydney J. Harris
Sanity Insanity quotes by Sydney J. Harris
To exist is to stand out, away from the background," The Preacher said. "You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence. ~ Frank Herbert
Sanity Insanity quotes by Frank Herbert
I look around. You'd have to be out of your fucking mind to write, as Marcus did, that Black History Month is a ploy to lever more entitlement money out of Congress, but the ho-hum nonresponse of the white crowd reading this bit of transparent insanity is, to me, even weirder. ~ Matt Taibbi
Sanity Insanity quotes by Matt Taibbi
i don't suffer from insanity. i enjoy every minute of it ~ E.J. Rose
Sanity Insanity quotes by E.J. Rose
The deep self has been referred to by many names over the ages. You may know it as Essence, Spirit, Soul, Source...or, perhaps by no name at all. I prefer to call it The Inner Shaman...The Inner Shaman simply waits for your sanity, that glimmer of light or recognition on your part. In short, it is waiting for your readiness to be aware of it. ~ Jose Luis Stevens
Sanity Insanity quotes by Jose Luis Stevens
Genius - the pursuit of madness. ~ Criss Jami
Sanity Insanity quotes by Criss Jami
He'd placed a stake in my heart the first time he told me loved me, and since then I've been his. I don't think I could've been anyone else's, no matter how much time we spent apart or how much time I spent with the other. Where there was darkness, he filled me up and I spilled over with light. He was my light. My sanity. My world. ~ Shanora Williams
Sanity Insanity quotes by Shanora Williams
Facts by themselves can often feed the flame of madness, because sanity is a spirit. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Sanity Insanity quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Here lies a nuisance dedicated to sanity. ~ David Low
Sanity Insanity quotes by David Low
They want rational reasons and are unwilling to cross into the territory of insanity, which is where all the real answers lie. ~ Jacques Antoine
Sanity Insanity quotes by Jacques Antoine
Carroting, you must understand, was a process by which animal fur is bathed in a solution of mercury nitrate, in order to render the hairs more supple, thus producing a superior felt." At this last word, he threw a significant glance in my direction. "Felt," I repeated. "You mean, for the making of hats?" "Precisely. The solution is of an orange colour, hence the term carroting. However, this process had rather severe side effects on those who worked with it, which is why its use today is much reduced. When mercury vapours are inhaled over a long enough period of time - particularly, for our purposes, in the close quarters of a hat-making operation - toxic and irreversible effects almost inevitably follow. One develops tremors of the hands; blackened teeth; slurred speech. In severe cases, dementia or outright insanity can occur. Hence the term mad as a hatter. ~ Douglas Preston
Sanity Insanity quotes by Douglas Preston
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things. ~ Robert Southey
Sanity Insanity quotes by Robert Southey
There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English into sanity. ~ Jim Butcher
Sanity Insanity quotes by Jim Butcher
They look up at me and see a rich lady in maternity clothes. They don't realize I am one of them. ~ Jodi Picoult
Sanity Insanity quotes by Jodi Picoult
Contradiction is what keeps sanity in place. ~ Flaubert Gustav Flaubert
Sanity Insanity quotes by Flaubert Gustav Flaubert
The balloon pops and I walk across a kitchen on a rainy day in February to check on eggs and bread and wine and sanity to check on glue to paste nice pictures on these walls. ~ Charles Bukowski
Sanity Insanity quotes by Charles Bukowski
The brink of insanity wasn't for wussies. ~ Cecy Robson
Sanity Insanity quotes by Cecy Robson
Our insanity is not that we see people who aren't there. It's that we ignore the ones who are. ~ Andrea Gibson
Sanity Insanity quotes by Andrea Gibson
When you live in my house, you learn to be fine with whatever you come across. It's the only way to stay sane in insanity. ~ Katlyn Charlesworth
Sanity Insanity quotes by Katlyn Charlesworth
Ask anybody, would you want an ex-madman living next door? It's difficult enough being an ex-convict. It's double hard for us 'madmen'. Please believe it. ~ Stephen Richards
Sanity Insanity quotes by Stephen Richards
Left alone, I am overtaken by the northern void-no wind, no cloud, no track, no bird, only the crystal crescents between peaks, the ringing monuments of rock that, freed from the talons of ice and snow, thrust an implacable being into the blue. In the early light, the rock shadows on the snow are sharp; in the tension between light and dark is the power of the universe. This stillness to which all returns, this is reality, and soul and sanity have no more meaning than a gust of snow; such transience and insignificance are exalting, terrifying, all at once ... Snow mountains, more than sea or sky, serve as a mirror to one's own true being, utterly still, utterly clear, a void, an Emptiness without life or sound that carries in Itself all life, all sound. ~ Peter Matthiessen
Sanity Insanity quotes by Peter Matthiessen
Women have been driven mad, "gaslighted," for centuries by the refutation of our experience and our instincts in a culture which validates only male experience. The truth of our bodies and our minds has been mystified to us. We therefore have a primary obligation to each other: not to undermine each others' sense of reality for the sake of expediency; not to gaslight each other.
Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our experience. Our future depends on the sanity of each of us, and we have a profound stake, beyond the personal, in the project of describing our reality as candidly and fully as we can to each other. ~ Adrienne Rich
Sanity Insanity quotes by Adrienne Rich
Metaphysics has always struck me as a prolonged form of latent insanity. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Sanity Insanity quotes by Fernando Pessoa
If I'm all alone, then the standard for sanity is up to me entirely. ~ Susan Wiggs
Sanity Insanity quotes by Susan Wiggs
So are you going to marry me or what?
He smiled that smile that had been making me feel something like drunk these past few months, and I felt all my sensibility and reason start to beat their wings as they prepared to fly away. Again. ~ Dorothy Koomson
Sanity Insanity quotes by Dorothy Koomson
Sometimes becoming drug free has less to do with addiction and more to do with sanity. ~ Shane Koyczan
Sanity Insanity quotes by Shane Koyczan
Spiraling through insanity together made it seem more sane. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Sanity Insanity quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity. ~ Henry Van Dyke
Sanity Insanity quotes by Henry Van Dyke
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure ~ Queen Elizabeth II
Sanity Insanity quotes by Queen Elizabeth II
If the universe comes melting down around you in searing flames and yet you remain alive...

If all the minds of the world bind themselves to insanity and yet you retain your intellectual liberty...

If darkness dissolves the dreams of everyone you know leaving not even a glint of inspiration...

Look within, and pursue your own happiness, pursue it to the f*cking glorious end. ~ S.W. Southwick
Sanity Insanity quotes by S.W. Southwick
She'd been questioning Jenni's sanity for a while now, but then again, they were all slightly insane now, weren't they? ~ Rhiannon Frater
Sanity Insanity quotes by Rhiannon Frater
In an attempt to fix a crooked world, she broke herself, her heart, and her sanity. ~ Simmy Kors
Sanity Insanity quotes by Simmy Kors
America is an insane asylum run by the inmates. ~ Lester Roloff
Sanity Insanity quotes by Lester Roloff
Later, he would ask later who Attila was. Now he only wanted Belial's kiss. His heat. His passion. A quick gallop. Frenzied eternity. Insanity multiplied. A perfect, mind-numbing, bone-shattering small death. He wanted it all. Now. Now. Now. ~ Ciaran O. Dwynvil
Sanity Insanity quotes by Ciaran O. Dwynvil
At some point, you have to make the decision between losing the person you love and your own sanity. ~ Lucinda Riley
Sanity Insanity quotes by Lucinda Riley
For men to focus on controlling women's reproduction to solve a society's problems seems nothing short of mad or, at best, superstitious. But men's superstition or insanity has real and dire consequences for the women who are its object. And states, too, home in on women's bodies, perhaps to create the illusion that men are in control of uncontrollable forces. Indeed, almost all governments try to control women's bodies and regulate their appearance in some way. ~ Marilyn French
Sanity Insanity quotes by Marilyn French
A whim is an emotion whose cause you neither know nor care to discover. Now what does it mean, to act on whim? It means that a man acts like a zombie, without any knowledge of what he deals with, what he wants to accomplish, or what motivates him. It means that a man acts in a state of temporary insanity. Is this what you call juicy or colorful? I think the only juice that can come out of such a situation is blood. To act against the facts of reality can result only in destruction. ~ Ayn Rand
Sanity Insanity quotes by Ayn Rand
Nevertheless, if someone has an empty brain - and because of this is vexed by insanity, and is delerious - take the whole grains of wheat and cook them in water. Remove these cooked grains from the water, and place them around his whole head, tying a cloth over them. His brain will be reinvigorated by their vital fluid, and he may recover his health and strength. Do this until he returns to his right mind. If ~ Hildegard Of Bingen
Sanity Insanity quotes by Hildegard Of Bingen
I know I'm acting crazy but I'm in love with this girl. Major love. And I have no idea what to do about it, so it's messing with my sanity. ~ Anne Eliot
Sanity Insanity quotes by Anne Eliot
She really talks to you, doesn't she?" She asked. "it's not just you talking to her. She talks BACK."
"hel, half the time she starts it." I said, half-defensively. "I know it's weird."
"Well, yes, it's weird. Technically, I think it's insane. But who am I to judge?" Maggie shrugged. "I live in a house most people view as the setting of a horror movie waiting to happen, with an army of security ninjas and a couple dozen epileptic dogs for company. I don't think I'm qualified to pass judgement on 'weird'. ~ Mira Grant
Sanity Insanity quotes by Mira Grant
invalidation is crazy-making, and it is also at the root of gaslighting, where victims' feelings are purposely denied or manipulated in order to make them question their sanity. ~ Samantha Rodman
Sanity Insanity quotes by Samantha Rodman
