so many kinds of madness


There are so many kinds of madness, so many ways in which the human brain may go wrong; and so often it happens that what we call madness is both reasonable and just. It is so. Yes. A little reason is good for us, a little more makes wise men of some of us--but when our reason over-grows us and we reach too far, something breaks and we go insane.
~JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD, "The Case of Beauvais," Back to God's Country and Other Stories
