In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

Summary

This quote by Japanese author Akira Kurosawa suggests that in a chaotic and senseless world, those who are considered insane might actually be the ones who hold a deeper understanding of life. It implies that being "sane" in such a world means conforming to its madness and accepting its absurdities. It challenges the conventional norms and questions the concept of sanity itself, provoking contemplation on the complexities of human perception and the hidden wisdom that can be found in unconventional thinking.

[W]e talk about the tyranny of words, but we like to tyrannise over them too; we are fond of having a large superfluous establishment of words to wait upon us on great occasions; we think it looks important, and sounds well. As we are not particular about the meaning of our liveries on state occassions, if they be but fine and numerous enough, so, the meaning or necessity of our words is a secondary consideration, if there be but a great parade of them. And as individuals get into trouble by making too great a show of liveries, or as slaves when they are too numerous rise against their masters, so I think I could mention a nation that has got into many great difficulties, and will get into many greater, from maintaining too large a retinue of words.
