“but ignorance is a kind of insanity in the human animal. People who delight in torturing defenseless children or tiny creatures are in reality insane. The terrible thing is that people who are madmen in private may wear a totally bland and innocent expression in public.”
“Reality is always controlled by the people who are the most insane.”
“People who remember court madness through pain, the pain of the perpetually recurring death of their innocence; people who forget court another kind of madness, the madness of the denial of pain and the hatred of innocence; and the world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget.”
“Innocence is a kind of insanity”
“Often people who are wonderful with animals aren't always terribly good with human beings.”
“Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.”
