Bill Bonner

After a lifetime's independence– yes, selfish independence as my daughter would rightly claim – I am terrified of being reduced to childhood once more, to helplessness, to seas of confusion from which the cruel lucid intervals poke up like rock shoals.

Rosie Thomas

I'm not particularly lucid after a concert. I'm not very lucid before, either.

Leonard Slatkin

I have never seen a more lucid, more lonely, better balanced mad mind than mine.

Vladimir Nabokov

But my activities have been pretty much focused in the last almost 30 years on the recovery, of my own recovery, the understanding for my family of my recovery.

Betty Ford

I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often awake than not.

Annie Dillard

Chloe Benjamin

I am not strictly speaking mad, for my mind is absolutely normal in the intervals, and even more so than before. But during the attacks it is terrible - and then I lose consciousness of everything. But that spurs me on to work and to seriousness, as a miner who is always in danger makes haste in what he does.

Vincent Van Gogh

This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized.

Winston Churchill
