“Insanity -- a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.”
R.D. Laing

R.D. Laing
“Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.”
Ronald D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise

R.D. Laing
“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”
R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise
