“Surely we are all mad people, and theyWhom we think are, are not;”

“We think we know people, and dismiss the scenes as aberrations, as the lightning strikes of madness, but surely we are wrong. Surely these are the truest moments of their lives.”

“I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.”

“It's amusing to me that we refer to people who live in their heads as detached, disturbed, or mad, when reality for anyone is actually a matter of the individual's state of mind. The mad truth—all people live in their heads. Whatever you think life is, it is.”

“I'm quite sure primitive people have no difficulties surviving in a place like this, and think of all the things we have that our rude forefathers lacked.”

“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”
