    One thing in any case is certain: man is neither the oldest nor the most constant problem that has been posed for human knowledge.
    Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

    Insane!... Ask the tyrant who is his most dangerous foe, the sane man or the insane?
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    —G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
