People Are Always Selling The Idea That People With Mental Illness Are Suffering. I Think Madness Can Be An Escape. If Things Are Not So Good, You Maybe Want To Imagine Something Better.

I Have Made The Most Important Discovery Of My Career, The Most Important Discovery Of My Life: It Is Only In The Mysterious Equations Of Love That Any Logic Or Reasons Can Be Found.

I Would Not Dare To Say That There Is A Direct Relation Between Mathematics And Madness, But There Is No Doubt That Great Mathematicians Suffer From Maniacal Characteristics, Delirium And Symptoms Of Schizophrenia.

Gradually I Began To Intellectually Reject Some Of The Delusionally Influenced Lines Of Thinking Which Had Been Characteristic Of My Orientation. This Began, Most Recognizably, With The Rejection Of Politically-oriented Thinking As Essentially A Hopeless Waste Of Intellectual Effort.

In Madness, I Thought I Was The Most Important Person In The World.
