Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fragile nature of human perception and the idea that what is considered "madness" or "madnesses" can be channeled into something constructive. It suggests that sanity, or the perception of reality, is a subjective concept, and that our waking lives, which we often consider to be rational, are merely a form of controlled illusion. It reminds us to question our own perceptions and challenge societal norms, as there may be hidden potentials in embracing what is typically deemed "madness."
