Insane

Famous quotes containing the word insane:

    What shall we say of the bones, unclean,
    Whose verdurous anonymity will grow?
    The ragged arms, the ragged heads and eyes
    Lost in these acres of the insane green?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.... I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends ... and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
    John Lennon (1940–1980)

    Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others’ eyes.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
