Mad

Famous quotes containing the word mad:

“I have lived in both worlds. And I think I prefer, to the indifferent, haphazard, money- mad hurry of the Outside World, that of my world; that sympathy and understanding grown shadowy since I have been away from it so long, still is more real to me than the world I am in now. Not only the spangles and the gay trappings made it colorful; there was an inner color that warmed the soul. And that I miss.”
—Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)

“Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

““Because I am mad about women
I am mad about the hills,”
Said that wild old wicked man
Who travels where God wills....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
