| Dr. Samuel Johnson (1707 - 1784) | If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards | |
| Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) | The question is not settled yet, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence | |
| Henrik Tikkanen | Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. | |
| John Russell | Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. | |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | We are mad, not only individually, but nationally. We check manslaughter and isolated murders; but what of war and the much vaunted crime of slaughtering whole peoples? | |
| Robin Williams (1951 - ) | You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. | |
| Salvador Dali | There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad. | |
| Ted Morgan | Howard Hughes was able to afford the luxury of madness, like a man who not only thinks he is Napoleon but hires an army to prove it. |
