A Quote by Frederick Lenz

In this prison camp, the Gestapo state brain-police planet Earth, what is normal is insane and what is insane is normal. But it doesn't pay to tell that to the local politicians or other organizational structures that run the place that. They didn't crucify Christ because they liked what he said.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

John Lennon

By far the greater part of violence that humans inflicted on each other is not the work of criminals or mentally deranged, but of normal, respectable citizens service of the collective ego. One can go so far as to say that on this planet "normal" equals insane. What is it that lies at the root of this insanity? Complete identification with thought and emotion, that is to say, ego.

Eckhart Tolle

I think everyone thinks their family is insane, and every family is insane. There is no real normal.

Taylor Swift

I stayed because it was normal. After the first hit, you don't think they're going to do it again. And it does escalate, but I stayed because it became normal. I didn't call the police because I didn't want them to go to jail and it just was normal.

Michel'le

You can't stop insane people from doing insane things with insane laws. That's insane!

Penn Jillette

Normal people think I'm insane.

Karl Lagerfeld

I think it's always been normal for humans to compare themselves to each other, but we're so hyper-connected all the time now that it's driving us insane.

Mark Manson

The most insane things can become normal if you have them around you long enough. A mind can’t seem to hold anything too crazy for too long without finding a way to make it seem normal.

Deb Caletti

It's insane to really think about, someone is going to pay me $100 million to do what I would do anyway on a regular day; it's insane.

Connor McDavid

The insane do not share the normal prejudice in favor of external reality.

Norman O. Brown

I'm talkin' about you. Stop pretending you're normal. You're insane. Make that work for you.

Jennifer Crusie

I could have just said I'm good at my job, but I didn't. Didn't want the police thinking I was holding out information when I wasn't. "I've got one advantage over a normal homicide detective, I expect it to be a monster. No one ever calls me in if it's just a stabbing, or a hit-and-run. I don't spend a lot of time trying to come up with nice, normal explanations. It means I get to ignore a lot of theories.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Wherever I go, I just try to show normal life. If the work helps to dispel stereotypes, it's because I seek not to portray the extremities of a place, but the vast majority of people who are quite normal and are having normal life experiences.
