We are all born mad. Some remain so.

A phenomenon that might seem only backwards or silly when expressed at a social level becomes madness at the individual level.

Our occasional madness is less wonderful than our occasional sanity.

We all go a little mad sometimes.

I am madness maddened! That wild madness that's only calm to comprehend itself

Madness is somewhere between chaos and having a dream.

Madness breeds madness.

Madness is only an amplification of what you already are.

I think perhaps all of us go a little crazy at times.

That's the secret of existence. We're all a little mad.

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

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

Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.

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.
