If it is true, as I have tried to show, that love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence, then any society which excludes, relatively, the development of love, must in the long run perish of its own contradiction with the basic necessities of human nature.
Erich Fromm

My basic mistake in 'The World's Greatest Lover' was that I made the leading character a neurotic kook and sent him to Hollywood. I should have made him a perfectly normal, sane, ordinary person, and sent him to Hollywood. The audience identifies with the lead character.

One of the major hobbies in South Florida is keeping animals that no sane person would want to keep. One of those is snakes. They usually get them when they're small, and when they get too big, they let them go. But there are also people with monkeys, lions, tigers. And they all get away, eventually.

Sometimes I aint so sho who's got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he aint. Sometimes I think it aint none of us pure crazy and aint none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it aint so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it.
William Faulkner

I've always had a flare for the dramatic. I thought about being an actor and I thought about directing, but writing truly became something I needed to do, just to stay sane. It's my over-pressure valve.
Marti Noxon

It's common knowledge that in the entertainment industry there's a lot of craziness that goes down, and it's really hard for anyone to stay sane. It's not a very natural environment to be in for too long. It's not very healthy.

Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
John Keats

You couldn't even prove the White House staff sane beyond a reasonable doubt. When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half. I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.
Dan Quayle

I like you because you were mad. And you're pretty. And pretty sane for a mad person.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.
Taylor Swift

There's something bigger than improvised music versus pop music versus something else. What actually succeeds in being communicated are human feelings, things that people can latch onto and say, Yeah, I feel like that sometimes. It can be inspiring or it can be something that keeps you sane when you're not feeling well.
John Dieterich

The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
David Brin

There is less harm to be suffered in being mad among madmen than in being sane all by oneself.
Denis Diderot
Image
People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum, and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
For only fools, fanatics, and mental cases can stand living at the highest pitch of soul a sane person must be content with declaring that life would not be worth living without a spark of that mysterious fire.

People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Image
Let me get this straight. A mentally ill madman goes on a shooting spree to assassinate a United States Congressperson... and the lesson learned by liberals is that guns must be taken away from law-abiding citizens? Really? What’s the connection between a mentally ill nutcase and perfectly sane, responsible people? There is none.
Wayne Allyn Root

Each nation knowing it has the only true religion and the only sane system of government, each despising all the others, each an ass and not suspecting it.
Mark Twain
Image
We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.
Erich Fromm
Image
Europe has always owed to oriental genius its divine impulses. What these holy bards said, all sane men found agreeable and true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
This is what i find most encouraging about the writing trades: they allow mediocre people who are patient and industrious to revise their stupidity, to edit themselves into something like intelligence. They also allow lunatics to seem saner than sane.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
In my age, as in my youth, night brings me many a deep remorse. I realize that from the cradle up I have been like the rest of the race - never quite sane in the night.
Mark Twain
