Insane

Famous quotes containing the word insane:

—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“Now like an insane man, you seek water in the middle of a stream.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

“Were such things here as we do speak about,
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
