One man's insanity is another man's genius; someday the world will recognize the genius in my insanity.

Joyce Carol Oates

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

Bruce Feirstein

The difference between insanity and genius is measured only by success and failure.

Masashi Kishimoto

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, then liberalism is a form of insanity.

James Cook

Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it.

Otto Weininger

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results when, in fact, the results never change, is one definition of insanity. That goes for economics, too.

Lawrence Kudlow

Only when Genius is married to Science can the highest results be produced.

Herbert Spencer

Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.

Alexander Pope

Perhaps sound is only an insanity of silence, a mad gibber of empty space grown fearful of listening to itself and hearing nothing.

Steven Millhauser

There is no genius who hasn't a touch of insanity.

Aristotle

The psychical condition of men's minds may be compared with a set of bells close together, and so arranged that in the ordinary man a bell rings only when one beside it sounds, and the vibration lasts only a moment. In the genius, when a bell sounds it vibrates so strongly that it sets in action the whole series, and remains in action throughout life. The latter kind of movement often gives rise to extraordinary conditions and absurd impulses, that may last for weeks together and that form the basis of the supposed kinship of genius with insanity.

Otto Weininger

Genius is one of the many forms of insanity.

Cesare Lombroso

There is a fine line between insanity and genius.

Dan Brown

Ironically enough, the only people who can hold up indefinitely under the stress of modern war are psychotics. Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity.
