“Can one man's madness be another's real life?”
“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”

“What one man can invent, another can discover.”
“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”

They fight a war and they don’t know what for. Isn’t that crazy? How can one man kill another and not really know the reason why he does it, except that the other man wears a different colour uniform and speaks a different language? And it’s me they call mad!”
