Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical may be madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness ...Maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Maybe the greatest madness is to see life as it is rather than what it could be.

To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.

Much madness is divinest sense To a discerning eye; Much sense the starkest madness. ’T is the majority In this, as all, prevails. Assent, and you are sane; Demur,—you ’re straightway dangerous, And handled with a chain.

The extreme limit of wisdom — that’s what the public calls madness.

The real madness probably is not another thing that the wisdom itself that, tired of discovering the shames of the world, has taken the intelligent resolution to become mad

Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively.

Of course, in an age of madness, to expect to be untouched by madness is a form of madness. But the pursuit of sanity can be a form of madness, too.

There is a madness that is better than wisdom.

Spontaneousness is thought to be madness. Formalities are thought to be sanity. Just the opposite is the reality.

My friends, this is madness.

How does one objectively define madness ?

Madness is somewhere between chaos and having a dream.
