Sanity is madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.

Don’t lose your mind unless you have paid for it.

Imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits.

What a torture to talk to filled heads that allow nothing from the outside to enter them.

my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing

Understanding is a very dull occupation.

We need strength, we need energy, we need quickness, and we need brain in this country to turn it around.

Is there no way out of the mind?

It is far, far better and much safer to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.

A mind lively and at ease can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

The mind is not, I know, a highway but a temple, and its doors should not be carelessly left open.

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be breakthrough.

The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.
