Sanity is viewed as a matter of getting these fluid portions of the self to play well together, without letting them become rigid or too well defined. In human beings, this is best achieved through interaction with other minds — other people — beyond the self. Without the push-back of external beings — outside communities and objective events — the subjective self can get lost in solipsism or fractured delusion.

Sanity is, in essence, nothing more than the ability to live in harmony with nature's laws.

Sanity is a valuable possession.

We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.

Perhaps its inevitable, perhaps one has to choose between being nothing at all and impersonating what one is.

Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.

If he asks himself what he believes is right but doesn't do it, he is also out of integrity. Only by asking himself what he believes is right and then doing it does he become a man of integrity.
