Psychotic Quotes

David Foster Wallace quote: "Psychotics, say what you want about them, tend to make the..."
Psychotics, say what you want about them, tend to make the first move. David Foster Wallace
Am I racially kin to this man? Baynes wondered. So closely so that for all intents and purposes it is the same? Then it is in me, too, the psychotic streak. A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And - how many of us do know it? Philip K. Dick
Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions. Thomas Szasz
He was a psychotic. He was a borderline psychotic. He was a terrific, sensational actor, with a magical screen presence, you couldn't keep your eyes off him, but he was paranoid. He was sure everybody was out to get him. Mark Rydell
I used to say to my classes that the ways to get insight are: to study infants; to study animals; to study primitive people; to be psychoanalyzed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it; or to have a love affair with an old Russian. And I stopped saying that when a little dancer in the front row put up her hand and said, 'Does he have to be old? Margaret Mead
He almost danced to the fridge, found the three least hairy things in it, put them on a plate and watched them intently for two minutes. Since they made no attempt to move within that time he called them breakfast and ate them. Between them they killed a virulent space disease he'd picked up without knowing it in the Flargathon Gas Swamps a few days earlier, which otherwise would have killed off half the population of the Western Hemisphere, blinded the other half, and driven everyone else... Douglas Adams
Maurice Sendak quote: "Childhood is cannibals and psychotics vomiting in your mouth!"
Childhood is cannibals and psychotics vomiting in your mouth! Maurice Sendak
Timothy Leary quote: "LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic..."
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it. Timothy Leary
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "All men are jerks, all women are psychotic."
All men are jerks, all women are psychotic. Kurt Vonnegut
His eyes are wild, psychotic slits that bat-dance in your soul looking for good things to crush or bad elements to identify with. Irvine Welsh
In front of the photograph of my mother as a child, I tell myself: she is going to die: I shudder, like winnicott's psychotic patient, over a catastrophe which has already occurred. Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe. Roland Barthes
William S. Burroughs quote: "A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A..."
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on. William S. Burroughs
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "What kind of rat bastard psychotic would play that song- right..."
What kind of rat bastard psychotic would play that song- right now, at this moment? Hunter S. Thompson
They want to be the agents, not the victims, of history. They identify with God's power and believe they are godlike. That is their basic madness. They are overcome by some archtype; their egos have expanded psychotically so that they cannot tell where they begin and the godhead leaves off. It is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate? confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God; God has eaten man. Philip K. Dick
Also, I do seem attracted to trash, as if the clue--the clue--lies there. I'm always ferreting out elliptical points, odd angles. What I write doesn't make a whole lot of sense. There is fun and religion and psychotic horror strewn about like a bunch of hats. Also, there is a social or sociological drift--rather than toward the hard sciences, the overall impression is childish but interesting. Philip K. Dick
