Madness Quotes
-
I am not fighting machinery as such, but the madness of thinking that machinery saves labor. Men save labor until thousands of them are without work and die of hunger on the streets. I want to secure employment and livelihood not only to part of the human race, but for all. I will not have the enrichment of a few at the expense of the community. At present the machine is helping a small minority to live on the exploitation of the masses. The motive force of this minority is not humanity or love of their kind, but greed and avarice.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Madness comes from God, whereas sober sense is merely human.
Plato
-

If what you want to do is write, then it's madness not to do it.

Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.
Elana Dykewomon
-
Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
-
There is also a third kind of madness, which is possession by the Muses, enters into a delicate and virgin soul, and there inspiring frenzy, awakens lyric... But he, who, not being inspired and having no touch of madness in his soul, comes to the door and thinks he will get into the temple by the help of art - he, I say, and his poetry are not admitted; the sane man is nowhere at all when he enters into rivalry with the madman.
Plato
-
The madness is running wild!
Randy Savage
-
No-man's land under snow is like the face of the moon: chaotic, crater ridden, uninhabitable, awful, the abode of madness.
Wilfred Owen
-
The sound of madness is life. It's waking up in the morning to your alarm clock, your kid crying for you, hearing the sound of the city, it's everything. Madness isn't necessarily a negative thing, it can be a positive thing. You know, hearing them cry for you, if you have children, is a great thing, it's your child.
Barry Kerch
-
Not everyone is capable of madness; and of those lucky enough to be capable, not many have the courage for it.
August Strindberg
-
Anger is simply momentary madness, and sometimes there is strength in silence. After all, he is only throwing words, not stones.
Jeff Shaara
-
Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at; and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does.
Virginia Woolf
-
Madness happened so frequently. I think what I was most maddest about - and it's in the book Speaking Freely: A Memoir - when the House and the Senate, back in 1984, were debating a bill that would - at least delay and maybe stop some of the ex - summary execution of disabled children - infants. And the Down syndrome kids and other kids had been, in some cases, routinely let die, to use the euphemism.
Nat Hentoff
-
Luck, mere luck may make even madness wisdom.
Douglas Jerrold

There is a madness in loving you, a lack of reason that makes it feel so flawless.
Leo Christopher
