Quote by Edward Dahlberg

Men are mad most of their lives; few live sane, fewer die so. The acts of people are baffling unless we realize that their wits are disordered. Man is driven to justice by his lunacy.

Men are mad most of their lives; few live sane, fewer die so

Summary

This quote suggests that most individuals live their lives in a state of madness, few ever attaining sanity, and even fewer dying in a sane state. It implies that people's actions may seem perplexing and irrational, but they become understandable when we recognize that their minds are disordered. It further suggests that the pursuit of justice and fairness is often driven by this inherent madness within human nature. In essence, the quote observes the complexities of human behavior and the underlying role of mental instability in shaping actions and motivations.
