History is the same thing over and over again. ~ Woody Allen
Temporary Insanity quotes by Woody Allen
The expression "madly in love" is apt, for it describes a form of temporary insanity. ~ Jessica Zafra
Temporary Insanity quotes by Jessica Zafra
Or maybe temporary insanity is just an excuse for inexcusable behavior. ~ Liane Moriarty
Temporary Insanity quotes by Liane Moriarty
I attributed the incidence to temporary insanity, and in my own defense, I'd like to say I haven't run over anyone since. ~ Janet Evanovich
Temporary Insanity quotes by Janet Evanovich
Death is the great wrecking ball that destroys everything. Everything that we have done, everything that we are doing now, and all our plans for the future are completely and irrevocably destroyed when we die. Only teenagers live in that state of temporary insanity when they believe themselves immune from death. ~ Dinesh D'Souza
Temporary Insanity quotes by Dinesh D'Souza
And the council doesn't recognize any kind of temporary insanity defense. Which was a real shame, because most of the councilmen had considered me crazy for most of my life. ~ Rachel Vincent
Temporary Insanity quotes by Rachel Vincent
For love, as he knew it, was an aberration, a form of temporary insanity, a shortlived state of autosuggestion.
Love was a state which a wise man would prudently avoid. ~ Robert Sheckley
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robert Sheckley
To know other people thought he'd made a mistake vindicated me. I wasn't a bad girlfriend, he was simply going through a period of temporary insanity and he'd come to his senses soon. ~ Dorothy Koomson
Temporary Insanity quotes by Dorothy Koomson
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
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ayn Rand
Sin always overpromises and underdelivers, while righteousness pays dividends for eternity...

Nothing is more illogical than sin. It's the epitome of poor judgment. It's temporary insanity with eternal consequences. And we have no alibi, save the cross of Jesus Christ. ~ Mark Batterson
Temporary Insanity quotes by Mark Batterson
Rose pushed on his chest with her hand. "If you let go of me now, I'm going to chalk your mauling of me up to temporary insanity."

He kissed her again, lightly brushing her lips.

"Declan!"

His grass green eyes laughed at her. "I wanted you to be sure that I wasn't temporarily insane. ~ Ilona Andrews
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ilona Andrews
You need a little bit of insanity to do great things. ~ Henry Rollins
Temporary Insanity quotes by Henry Rollins
Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ambrose Bierce
Why would our brains throw us into a temporary insanity? What's the evolutionary purpose for this whacked-out loss of control? To understand why fascination grasps us so irresistibly, keep in mind the illogic of flirtation, and the lunacy of love. Fascination, as we've seen, is a visceral and primal decision-making process, one that's largely involuntary. Fisher says that our brains are literally "built to fall in love" because it's in our evolutionary best interest not to think clearly during the two-year time period it takes to meet, court, and produce a child, or else we might come to our senses and avoid the inconvenience of child rearing altogether. ~ Sally Hogshead
Temporary Insanity quotes by Sally Hogshead
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by the removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ambrose Bierce
If my holding out those berries was an act of temporary insanity, then those people will embrace insanity too. ~ Suzanne Collins
Temporary Insanity quotes by Suzanne Collins
Right? I don't know why I did it. Temporary insanity, maybe. Did you ever do something that makes absolutely no sense, but you couldn't help yourself? ~ Robyn Mundell
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robyn Mundell
Romance. That seemed silly.... Now-so cheap, mass market-, high-discount. It was temporary insanity caused by the brain. It was a biological trick to ensure the survival of the species. ~ Shannon Hale
Temporary Insanity quotes by Shannon Hale
Temporary Insanity had come a-knocking and I had shouted "Come on in the door is open." Luckily, Reality had come unexpectedly and found Temporary Insanity roaming the corridors of my mind unchecked, going into rooms, opening cupboards, reading my letters, looking in my underwear drawer, that kind of thing. Reality had run and got Sanity. And after a tussle, they both had managed to throw out Temporary Insanity and slam the door in his face. Temporary Insanity now lay on the gravel in the driveway of my mind, panting and furious, shouting, "She invited me in, you know. She asked me in. She wanted me there. ~ Marian Keyes
Temporary Insanity quotes by Marian Keyes
I rehearsed Foucault's argument that the presence of madness on our doorstep is good for us, for it reminds us the life we live is only one among several human possibilities. ~ Michael Greenberg
Temporary Insanity quotes by Michael Greenberg
Scenes are now to take place as will open the eyes of credulity and of insanity itself, to the dangers of a paper medium abandoned to the discretion of avarice and of swindlers. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Temporary Insanity quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The rich and luxurious may claim an exclusive right to those pleasures which are capable of being purchased by pelf, in which the mind has no enjoyment, and which only afford a temporary relief to languor by steeping the senses in forgetfulness; but in the precious pleasures of the intellect, so easily accessible by all mankind, the great have no exclusive privilege; for such enjoyments are only to be procured by our own industry. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Temporary Insanity quotes by Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Insanity had its place, and that place was generally when all the sane options had been exhausted. ~ Evan Currie
Temporary Insanity quotes by Evan Currie
You know what this is, I suppose. Religious melancholia. Stop while there is time. If you dive, you dive into insanity. ~ C.S. Lewis
Temporary Insanity quotes by C.S. Lewis
Without God, life would end at the grave and our mortal experiences would have no purpose. Growth and progress would be temporary, accomplishment without value, challenges without meaning. There would be no ultimate right and wrong and no moral responsibility to care for one another as fellow children of God. Indeed, without God, there would be no mortal or eternal life.
If you or someone you love is seeking purpose in life or a deeper conviction of God's presence in our lives, I offer, as a friend and as an Apostle, my witness. He lives! ~ Robert D. Hales
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robert D. Hales
I could go on to speak of sanity as compared with insanity, decency as compared with vandalism, friendship as compared with rabies. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Temporary Insanity quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Nobody ever told me that motherhood was temporary. You think you have years and years with them, but the truth is, you don't. ~ Adriana Trigiani
Temporary Insanity quotes by Adriana Trigiani
Oil prices jumped to well over $100 a barrel, and analysts say it's due to tension in the Middle East. So, luckily, it's just a temporary thing. ~ Jay Leno
Temporary Insanity quotes by Jay Leno
You never were the body and you will never be a body. You are pure awareness, the absolute reality. As you think about these things you become them. The worst thing you can do is think about troubles and worries. Always think about the heart. Always think about the Self, which is forever. If you think about anything else it is only temporary, it comes and goes. The good things, the bad things of this world, they come and go. Think only of the Self, the heart. This is your reality, beauty, joy. This is being-ness. This is the 'I am that I am'. ~ Robert Adams
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robert Adams
Very often, I confess, the teller of dreams bores me. His dream could perhaps interest me if it were frankly worked on. But to hear a glorious tale of his insanity! I have not yet clarified, psychoanalytically, this boredom during the recital of other people's dreams. Perhaps I have retained the stiffness of a rationalist. I do not follow the tale of justified incoherence docilely. I always suspect that part of the stupidities being recounted are invented. ~ Gaston Bachelard
Temporary Insanity quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Breakdowns come, and breakdowns go. ~ Paul Simon
Temporary Insanity quotes by Paul Simon
You're bloody insane, Karede," Mat said. "Unfortunately, so am I. ~ Robert Jordan
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robert Jordan
I was known before I was born and my name will be blazoned in history long after I'm dust in the ground. Infamy is temporary, celebrity is fleeting, but royalty…royalty is forever. ~ Emma Chase
Temporary Insanity quotes by Emma Chase
When you live in the shadow of insanity, the appearance of another mind that thinks and talks as yours does is something close to a blessed event. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Temporary Insanity quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
The face that looked back was narrow, and although it was not beautiful, it was not ugly. I am nondescript, she thought. Nondescript features with shoulder-length dark hair. Hmm. She opened the robe and looked critically at her body. Lots of adjectives beginning with the letter S are appropriate here, she thought grimly. Short. Scrawny. Small breasts. Skinned knees (although presumably those were only temporary). ~ Daniel O'Malley
Temporary Insanity quotes by Daniel O'Malley
Time spent for temporary happiness like movie or outing or weekend on a beach is all synthetic; with shelf life of a day or two. Work for your bigger dreams that should last for whole life. Then movie and beach would seem more interesting, realising that you have done something. ~ Vikrmn
Temporary Insanity quotes by Vikrmn
112. I listened for the whisper, of your sweet insanity. ~ Maynard James Keenan
Temporary Insanity quotes by Maynard James Keenan
Mankind is nothing more than a parasitic tick gorging himself on temporary plenty while the seas are low and the climate is clement. But the present arrangement of land and sea will change, and with it our brief supremacy. ~ Richard Fortey
Temporary Insanity quotes by Richard Fortey
Never suppress the power in your long term goals to benefit the current temporary situation. ~ Tshepo Ramodisa
Temporary Insanity quotes by Tshepo Ramodisa
Divorce a man from purpose and his life becomes meaningless, no better than an animal's. The trouble is that most purposes are exhausted too quickly; the only ones capable of enduring are those sustained by belief. The medieval church knew that stout walls were needed to block out the horrifying vacuum of the universe. It understood that the recognition of that vacuum was enough to send weak human beings, cursed with imagination, to insanity and suicide. That was why the church demanded absolute obedience. ~ Bill Hopkins
Temporary Insanity quotes by Bill Hopkins
When you finally understand that it's all so temporary, you start focusing on what's truly permanent: the connection to God within you ~ Dr. Jacent Mpalyenkana, Ph.D. MBA
Temporary Insanity quotes by Dr. Jacent Mpalyenkana, Ph.D. MBA
Broadmoor creeps into your blood, the walls touch the sky and the grounds suck you in, they've even got their own burial ground. We called it the 'madman's hole', it smelt of fear; a stillness and even the birds seemed to have a stone face like their eyes were made of marble. So many monsters, men of hell, I don't know how a sane man can keep sane in there. ~ Stephen Richards
Temporary Insanity quotes by Stephen Richards
When I looked at my life's ledger I realized I was a very rich woman. What I was experiencing was merely a temporary cash-flow problem. Finally, I came to an inner awareness that my personal net worth couldn't possibly be determined by the size of my checking account balance. Neither can yours. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Temporary Insanity quotes by Sarah Ban Breathnach
Charity is a nice gesture, but it only offers temporary relief. But if he can change the law, the benefits for the poor will last longer. ~ Aya Ling
Temporary Insanity quotes by Aya Ling
The pandering and ignorance-across-party-lines represented by the John McCain-Hillary Clinton united front for a temporary reduction in the gasoline tax should make Americans hold their heads in their hands and moan [ ... ] Please. This is embarrassing. It makes me long for the good old days of debating about flag pins on the lapel. ~ James Fallows
Temporary Insanity quotes by James Fallows
A tired man is already in the grip of death and insanity ... A sane man is a man who is fully awake. As he grows tired, he loses his ability to rise above dreams and delusions, and life becomes steadily more chaotic. ~ Colin Wilson
Temporary Insanity quotes by Colin Wilson
Proving he's a crazy son of a bitch, Pigpen flashes me that guilty-by-definition-of-insanity grin. "See, was talking so bad? A few weeks with me and you'll be ready for full-on family therapy. ~ Katie McGarry
Temporary Insanity quotes by Katie McGarry
What is fantasy? On one level, of course, it is a game: a pure pretense with no ulterior motive whatever. It is one child saying to another child, "Let's be dragons," and then they're dragons for an hour or two. It is escapism of the most admirable kind - the game played for the game's sake.
On another level, it is still a game, but a game played for very high stakes. Seen thus, as art, not spontaneous play, its affinity is not with daydream, but with dream. It is a different approach to reality, an alternative technique for apprehending and coping with existence. It is not antirational but pararational; not realistic, but surrealistic, superrealistic, a heightening of reality. In Freud's terminology, it employs primary, not secondary process thinking. It employs archetypes, which, Jung warned us, are dangerous things. Dragons are more dangerous, and a good deal commoner, than bears. Fantasy is nearer to poetry, to mysticism, and to insanity than naturalistic fiction is. It is a real wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe. And their guides, the writers of fantasy, should take their responsibilities seriously. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The alleged power to charm down insanity, or ferocity in beasts, is a power behind the eye. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Temporary Insanity quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who then is sane? He who is not a fool. ~ Horace
Temporary Insanity quotes by Horace
So long as man is capable of Prema, Dharma will exist, do not doubt it. When that Prema is fixed on the Lord, your mental make-up will slowly and steadily undergo a revolutionary change; then, man will share in the sorrows and joys of his fellow-beings; thereafter he contacts the very source of the Bliss that is beyond the temporary gains and losses of this world. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Temporary Insanity quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
