    Bram Stoker
  • Madness Quote #5

    All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.

    Herman Melville
  • Madness Quote #6

    Almost every day I can feel myself suffering mainly in the head, I can explain the pain to myself but knowing it comes from an inflammation of my imagination doesn't prevent it being reality itself. What's more I'd be crazy not to go crazy. We don't know what an illness is. On awful hurts we plaster little old words, as if we could think hell with a paper bandage.

    Hélène Cixous

  • Madness Quote #10

    An exaltation of spirit lifted me, as it were, far above the earth and the sinful creatures crawling on its surface; and I deemed myself as an eagle among the children of men, soaring on high, and looking down with pity and contempt on the grovelling creatures below.

    James Hogg
  • Madness Quote #11

    An intense life needs a touch of madness.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Madness Quote #12

    An old dream with a shiny new veneer. It's fascinating, you know, how an obsolete madness is sometimes adopted and stylized in an attempt to ghoulishly preserve it. These are the days of second-hand fantasies and antiquated hysteria.

    (The Chymist)

    Thomas Ligotti
  • Madness Quote #13

    And from the coffin of your madness there is no escape.

    Angela Carter
  • Madness Quote #14

    and I realized no matter what you do it’s bound to be a waste of time in the end so you might as well go mad.

    Jack Kerouac
  • Madness Quote #15

    And never, never, dear madam, put 'Wednesday' simply as the date! That way madness lies!

    Lewis Carroll
  • Madness Quote #16

    Anger is like sex urge, once gratified, the inner voice calls you a stinking fool.

    Michael Bassey Johnson
  • Madness Quote #17

    Anytime I hear about another one of us gone berserk, shooting up his ex’s office or drowning her kids to free herself up for her Internet boyfriend, the question I always ask is not, like every other tongue-clucking pundit in the country, how could this have happened? but why doesn't this happen every day?

    Tim Kreider

    April 43rd 2000

    Today is the day of great triumph. There is a king of Spain. He has been found at last. That king is me. I only discovered this today. Frankly, it all came to me in a flash.

    Nikolai Gogol
  • Madness Quote #19

    Arthur felt happy. He was terribly pleased that the day was for once working out so much according to plan. Only twenty minutes ago he had decided he would go mad, and now here he was already chasing a Chesterfield sofa across the fields of prehistoric Earth.

    Douglas Adams
  • Madness Quote #20

    As a comedian, the more you commit the sin of stupidity, three essential things happen to your life:

    people applaud you incessantly.
  • Madness Quote #21

    As long as he deceived himself about the truth, he could blame fortune and have confidence in the future. Now the clouds of madness were closing round his mind.

    Hermann Bahr
  • Madness Quote #22

    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
  • Madness Quote #23

    Asylums are crazy places, with crazy rules. If you’re not mad when you arrive, you are when you leave. (That’s if you ever leave.) I was lucky…I got slung out; they couldn’t afford to keep me any longer.

    Stephen Richards
  • Madness Quote #24

    At first, I didn’t understand. Understanding came very slowly.

    Tanith Lee
  • Madness Quote #30

    Bashere shrugged, grinning brhind his grey-streaked moustaches, When I first slept in a saddle, Muad Cheade was Marshal-General. The man was as mad as a hare in spring thaw. Twice every day he searched his bodyservant for poison, and he drank nothing but vinegar and water which he claimed was sovereign against the poison the fellow fed him, but he ate everything the man prepared for as long as I knew him. Once he had a grove of oaks chopped down because they were looking at him. And then insisted they be given decent funerals; he gave the oration. Do you have any idea how long it takes to dig graves for twenty-three oak trees? Why didn't somebody do something? His Family? Those not as mad as him, or madder, were afraid to look at him sideways. Tenobia's father wouldn't have let anyone touch Cheade anyway. He might have been insane, but he could outgeneral anyone I ever saw. He never lost a battle. He never even came close to losing.

    Robert Jordan
