“What can you do,” thought Winston, “against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?”

Like Socrates said, “The male libido is like being chained to a madman.” And I suppose the fire of that insanity is this limp fleshy phallus, dragging us through life.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
you raise the blade, you make the change
you rearrange me ’ till I’m sane
you lock the door
and throw away the key
there’s someone in my head but it’s not me
you rearrange me ’ till I’m sane
you lock the door
and throw away the key
there’s someone in my head but it’s not me

When you live in the shadow of insanity, the appearance of another mind that thinks and talks as yours does is something close to a blessed event.
…most people in life, especially the ones who are considered super normal, if you really take a step back and observe them and watch them a bit, you’ll realize that they’re actually completely out of their minds. Most people are really nuts and that’s fascinating to me.

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.
Objectivity and subjectivity were traps that people fell into. I prefer the terms “insanity” and “outsanity.” Insanity is your life inside yourself. It’s very private and you don’t allow anybody in there because it’s so crazy. Every so often I find somebody that I can talk to about it. When you go into the isolation tank outsanity is gone. Now, outsanity is what we’re doing now, it’s exchanging thoughts and so on. I’m not talking about my insanity and you’re not talking about yours. Now, if our insanities overlap then we can be friends.
Lady, after this he’ll be a perfectly normal human being, and you what bastards they are!
