An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.

Summary

This quote suggests that in America, it is commonplace for individuals to display behavior that might be considered insane or irrational in other contexts. It implies that sanity is relative, and the diverse range of perspectives and ideologies within American society makes it unlikely to find a place where only those deemed sane would reside. Consequently, this quote playfully highlights the cultural diversity and freedom of expression in America, suggesting that unconventional behaviors and ideas are accepted and possibly even celebrated.
