Sane Man Quotes

The Christian admits that the universe is manifold and even miscellaneous, just as a sane man knows that he is complex. The sane man knows that he has a touch of the beast, a touch of the devil, a touch of the saint, a touch of the citizen. Nay, the really sane man knows that he has a touch of the madman. But the materialist's world is quite simple and solid, just as the madman is quite sure he is sane. The materialist is sure that history has been simply and solely a chain of causation, just... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Robert M. Parker, Jr. quote: "No sane man can afford to dispense with debilitating..."
No sane man can afford to dispense with debilitating pleasures; no ascetic can be considered reliably sane. Robert M. Parker, Jr.
No one, in the world's whole history, ever attempted to substantiate a truth by a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of miracle. Nothing but falsehood ever attested itself by signs and wonders.

He is a [sane] man who can have tragedy in his heart and comedy in his head. Gilbert K. Chesterton
The fortifications have never been attacked, nor has any sane man ever proposed any reason why they should be attacked. They have never defended anything.

For I know that we laughers have a gross cousinship with the most high, and it is this contrast and perpetual quarrel which feeds a spring of merriment in the soul of a sane man. Hilaire Belloc
Possibly he knew, as he wrote this, that he was mad - because inside every madman sits a little sane man saying 'You're mad, you're mad.' Graham Swift
Luciano Pavarotti quote: "Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane..."

Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you. Carl Jung
He said he had only a few days ago believed in blasphemy as the way to salvation, but that you couldn't even believe in that because then you were believing in something to blaspheme. As for the Jesus who was reported to have been born at Bethlehem and crucified on Calvary for man's sins, Haze said, He was too foul a notion for a sane person to carry in his head, and he picked up the boy's water bucket and bammed it on the concrete pavement to emphasize what he was saying. Flannery O'Connor
It is quite easy to see why a legend is treated, and ought to be treated, more respectfully than a book of history. The legend is generally made by the majority of people in the village, who are sane. The book is generally written by the one man in the village who is mad. Gilbert K. Chesterton
H. P. Lovecraft quote: "If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his..."
If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end! H. P. Lovecraft
On the top of Cadair Idris, I felt how happy a man might bewith a little money and a sane intellect, and reflected with astonishment and pityon the madness of the multitude. Thomas Love Peacock
