In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom!

Summary

This quote suggests that in a perfectly normal and structured society, the unconventional and seemingly crazy actions or thoughts become the only source of true freedom. It implies that the boundaries set by a rational and controlled world can limit personal expression and exploration. By embracing madness, individuals can break free from societal constraints and experience a sense of liberation. The quote challenges the notion of sanity as the ideal state and emphasizes the importance of embracing one's unique and eccentric qualities.

We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! it seems to say, there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.
