The history of saints is mainly the history of insane people

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout history, individuals who were often considered saints may have actually been mentally unstable or insane.

It challenges the perception of saints as holy and righteous figures, instead highlighting the possibility of their experiences being driven by psychological factors that were misunderstood or misinterpreted by society.
