“For mad I may be, but I will never be convenient.”

“I will go out again this very night with my rockets and fuses. I will blow them straight out of their comfortable beds. Blow the rooftops off their houses. Blow the black, wretched night to bits. I will not stop. For mad I may be, but I will never be convenient.”

“May I gain no victory that harms me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are mad at each other. May I, insofar as I can, give all necessary help to my friends and to all who are in need. May I never fail a friend in trouble.-- Prayer on the Golden Rule (abridged)”

“Madness, it became convenient to believe quite early on, came with the territory, on the order of earthquakes.”

“I may be mad, he thought, but I prefer the shit of this world to whatever sweet ambrosias the next may offer.”

“I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time.”
