Quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, and not of the intellectual faculties.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker is suggesting that their situation or problem is similar to madness. However, they clarify that it is not a mental disorder that affects their intelligence or reasoning skills, but rather a disorder of their willpower or ability to make choices. It implies that their difficulty lies not in understanding, but in the ability to control or direct their actions due to some form of imbalance or disruption in their volition or motivation.
