Perhaps it was only that I did not feel any crazier than I had ever felt. I did not notice any missing gray tissue, I did not seem to be thinking any slower or more strangely, and so far I’d had no conversations with invisible buddies that I was aware of. Except in my sleep, of course-and did that really count? Weren’t we all crazy in our sleep? What was sleep, after all, but the process by which we dumped our insanity into a dark subconscious pit and came out on the other side ready to eat cereal instead of the neighbor’s children? .Jeff Lindsay
About This Quote
While this quote is great in theory, it is terrible in practice. It would be easy to believe that the person who wrote this quote has really given some thought into what it would be like to live without sanity. The reality is that with the right amount of medication it is possible to be all too sane. While taking certain medications may help to slow your mind down, the fact remains that you are still only able to think properly if your mind is working properly.
