“Insomnia is his mind's revenge for all the tricky thoughts he has carefully avoided during the daylight hours.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“It’s profoundly counter-intuitive for us to think of ourselves as mad. We seem so normal and mostly so good – to ourselves. It’s everyone else who is out of step… And yet maturity begins with the capacity to sense and, in good time and without defensiveness, admit to our own craziness. If we are not regularly deeply embarrassed by who we are, the journey to self-knowledge hasn’t begun.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love
