madness [Theme] Page 1
“Because intelligent plans, unlike insane ones, never work,” she said.
People are there, eating each other's flesh! Going there is crazy.
My love, my love, my love.
There is nothing good in herds, even when they run after you. The insanity of individuals is an exception, and the insanity of entire groups, parties, peoples, times is the rule.
Don't look for logic in a psychopath's actions.
Yes, my cradle was in the library;
Dust, Babylon volumes, parchment, silence,
Novels, dictionaries, Latins and Greeks...
I, as in folio, was exalted then.
Two voices talked to me about life.
One, insidious, firm, said to me, "The world is a pie.
Dispel your appetite. At the cost of their efforts
You will know the sweetness of all that God has created."
Another shouted: "Swim in bottomless fairy tales
Over what is conceivable, over what measures the meter."
Ah, that voice sang, bayukal in strange caresses,
Scary and exciting, like winds from the embankment,
Like a phantom who came out of nowhere.
I said, "I'm going!" and that's me then.
Suddenly I felt the pain and the fate that is everywhere
I carry now with me, I carry always, always...
I see new constellations of diamonds
In the blackest abyss of dreams, behind the appearance of things;
Slave of clairvoyance and martyr of ecstasies,
I drag with me indestructible snakes.
And it has been since, as a prophet, wandering;
In the deserts and seas, I, as a prophet, am alone.
I laugh in mourning, I cry on holidays
And I find the beauty in the taste of bitter wines.
To me, the facts seem like some kind of noisy lie,
Counting the stars in the darkness, I get into the moat...
But the Voice whispers to me, "Keep your dreams, crazy!
Clever people do not know such beautiful dreams..."

Quote Explanation: in folio - in large format, in a whole sheet
People are eternally obsessed with longing, madship, mania, suffer from all those ailments that Hippocrates called divine. The reason is that human affairs are not feasible. The destiny - privilege and honor - of a person never to achieve his plan and to represent a pure aspiration, a living utopia. He always goes to defeat, even before the battle getting a wound in the temple.
On the edge of madness is hope.
The bravest and craziest thing any creature can do is change.
Tears run down your cheeks again, how much can you cry?
Some part of me realizes it was too crazy; Petersburg continues to expose my emotionality. But I didn't care at night, and I don't care now.

Madness is a state of mind.
I'm looking for a wise guy for madmen.
Do you shift the arrows to others, just not to take the blame on yourself, as I do?
Genius is madness turned into reality.
To defeat your madman, I have to be crazy myself.
