“The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.”

“I said to him, "Shall I tell you where the men are who believe most in themselves? For I can tell you. I know of men who believe in themselves more colossally than Napoleon or Caesar. I know where flames the fixed star of certainty and success. I can guide you to the thrones of the Super-men. The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.”

“I don't know if there are men on the moon, but if there are they must be using the earth as their lunatic asylum”

“We are all lunatics... ‘tis only the manner of our asylum that differs.”

“Doubtless the lunatic asylums of the world are filled with unfortunate women who have failed to see my charms.”

“We realize we can't go around saying and doing what we're actually thinking and feeling. If we all did that, life would be a lunatic asylum. Indeed, that's how you know you're talking to a lunatic. Lunatics are those poor souls who have lost their inner communication and so they allow themselves to say and do exactly what they are thinking and feeling and that's why they're mad.”
