"To have a true idea of man or of life, one must have stood himself on the brink of suicide, or on the door-sill of insanity, at least once."

Previous Quote

There are essential and inessential insanities... Inessential insanities get one in trouble with oneself. Essential insanities get one in trouble with others. It's always preferable to be in trouble with others. In fact, it may be essential.
