Quote by Kahlil Gibran
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Summary
This quote reflects the speaker's perspective on their own madness. They see madness as a source of both freedom and safety. The freedom arises from the state of loneliness that accompanies their madness, where the individual is liberated from societal judgments and expectations. At the same time, they find a sense of safety in not being understood by others, because the speaker believes that understanding can lead to a kind of enslavement. In this view, being understood can potentially limit one's freedom and individuality, making madness a shelter from that constraint.
