Famous quotes containing the words feigned and/or insanity:
“Sweetest love, I do not go
For weariness of thee,
Nor in hope the world can show
A fitter love for me;
But since that I
Must die at last, ‘tis best
To use myself in jest
Thus by feigned deaths to die.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
