Gilbert K. Chesterton Quotes

I've definitely accepted the fact that I'm not normal.

A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being; the difference between sanity and insanity; the meaning of life and death; what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.

Was everyone else really as alive as she was?...If the answer was yes, then the world, the social world, was unbearably complicated, with two billion voices, and everyone's thoughts striving in equal importance and everyone's claim on life as intense, and everyone thinking they were unique, when no one was.

All of us are crazy in one or another way.

Who but the mad would choose to keep on living? In the end, aren't we all just a little crazy?
