Quotes below are from memory. Apologies if there
is an error...
Much madness is divinest sense
To the discerning eye--
Much sense, the starkest madness.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.
Emily Dickinson
Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
John Dryden
Paul, your great learning has driven you mad!
The king to the apostle Paul
in the Acts of the Apostles
All progress... depends on the unreasonable man.
G. B. Shaw
