“If you think anyone is sane you just don't know enough about them.”

“--Why are we fighting them?--They're mad. We're sane.--How do we know?--That we're sane?--Yes.--Am I sane?--To all appearances.--And you, do you consider yourself sane?--I do.--Well, there you have it.--But don't they also consider themselves sane?--I think they know. Deep down. That they're not sane.--How must that make them feel?--Terrible, I should think. They must fight ever more fiercely, in order to deny what they know to be true. That they are not sane.”

“Does that help? Probably not, unless you are sane enough to believe that the truth about anyone is disappointing, the truth about me especially so.”

“Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. They just don't know.”

“If you don't want anyone to know anything about you, don't write anything.”

“I know you don't think he's good enough for me, but then you don't think any man is good enough for me.”
