“The word "necessary" is miserably applied. It disordereth families, and overturneth government, by being so abused. Remember that children and fools want everything because they want judgment to distinguish; and therefore there is no stronger evidence of a crazy understanding than the making too large a catalogue of things necessary.” WantChildrenGovernmentRememberUnderstandingCrazyFoolJudgmentEvidenceStrongerCatalogues Author:Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax

“Miss Havisham is an important feminine literary figure in the tradition of Antigone (though it's significant that Antigone is fighting to bury something and Miss Havisham refuses, as it were, to bury the corpse). Like Hamlet, she's focused on what everyone would rather not know or would like to forget, and she seems crazy / stuck as well as bitter, but she's also a perfect prototype of a performance artist. She's intentionally hard to deal with inviting the audience to remain with the violated body, the evidence of violence.” KnowsWellsImportantHardBodySeemsArtistFightingPerfectForgetDealsAudienceViolenceCrazyMissingFiguresEvidenceTraditionPerformancesRefuseFocusedStuckSignificantBitterFeminineCorpsesInvitingPrototypeAntigoneHavishamMiss Havisham Author:Laura Mullen

“I'll probably lose every friend I've got, but I think the Russians are about the only people who have behaved decently in the conflict with the Ukraine. All the evidence to the contrary seems a bit bogus to me. NATO is trying to use Ukraine to isolate and cripple Russia, and that's completely crazy and very cruel. It seems to me that our side, the English and American people, really want it to go bad there. But there's no need for it to have done so. At least that's what I think. You won't hear a lot of that on Fox News.” PeopleThinkingTryingDoneCrazyConflictEvidenceNato Author:Robert Wyatt
“...but I’m trying to be inconspicuous.” Cinder considered telling him it wasn't working but thought better of it.

“Mad; adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence; not conforming to standards of thought, speech, and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority; in short, unusual. It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad by officials destitute of evidence that they themselves are sane.” PersonsActionStudyCrazySpeechDegreesIntellectualStandardsEvidenceIndependenceMadMajorityOfficialsAffectedUnusualSaneOddsConformDestituteMadness And SanityInsanity And Sanity Book:The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Large Bold Edition Source: The Devil's Dictionary: Easyread Large Bold Edition
“Our entire universe emerged from a point smaller than a single atom. Space itself exploded in a cosmic fire, launching the expansion of the universe and giving birth to all the energy and all the matter we know today. I know that sounds crazy, but there’s strong observational evidence to support the Big Bang theory. And it includes the amount of helium in the cosmos and the glow of radio waves left over from the explosion.” KnowsGivingMatterBigsTodayUniverseEnergyLeftStrongSoundSpaceSupportFireCrazyTheoryAmountBirthEvidenceWaveRadioCosmosAtomsCosmicExpansionBangsExplosionsGiving BirthLaunchingHeliumSpacetimeRadio Waves Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
