We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!

George Bernard Shaw
About This Quote

We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us! A person who is wise enough to realize that our world is not perfect. The idea of the crazy makes us think of the dangerous, uncontrollable and unpredictable. That’s not what we need or what we really want. We need more and more wise and sane people who can see our problems and work on fixing them.
