When majority is insane, sane must go to asylum.

Summary

This quote suggests that in a situation where the majority of people hold insane or irrational beliefs, those who are rational or sane have no choice but to be seen as abnormal or outcasts. It implies that when society as a whole embraces madness, those who maintain their sanity are considered the ones who need to be confined or isolated. This quote underscores the idea that the perception of sanity or insanity can be subjective and influenced by societal norms and collective thinking.
