About This Quote
Crazy people are often considered harmless because they do not appear to be harmful to others. However, the reality is that they can do a great deal of harm and can become a risk to society if they continue to be free to roam and do whatever they please. Crazy people who are judged to be harmless are allowed an enormous amount of freedom ordinary people are denied.
