Mad

Famous quotes containing the word mad:

    Some men there are love not a gaping pig,
    Some that are mad if they behold a cat,
    And others when the bagpipe sings i’th’ nose
    Cannot contain their urine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.
    David Cronenberg (b. 1943)

    It is scarcely exaggeration to say that if one is not a little mad about Balzac at twenty, one will never live; and if at forty one can still take Rastignac and Lucien de Rubempre at Balzac’s own estimate, one has lived in vain.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
