** Mental health humour is a difficult topic, here is what the best brains say about madness **
* There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. - Oscar Levant
* Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion. - Robertson Davies
* Reality is something you rise above. - Liza Minnelli
* I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it. - Mary Chase
* Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. - Henrik Tikkanen
* People often write me and ask how I keep my wood floors so clean when I live with a child and a dog, and my answer is that I use a technique called 'Suffering From a Mental Illness'. - Heather Armstrong
* Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined. - Samuel Goldwyn
* If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane. - Jimmy Buffett
* Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad. - Diogenes the Cynic
* I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.' - Umberto Eco
* One out of four people in this country is Mentally Unbalanced. - Ann Lander
* When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. - Mark Twain
Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy. - Nora Ephron
* Everyone is born a genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes. - Edgard Varese
* I quit therapy because my analyst was trying to help me behind my back. - Richard Lewis
* When dealing with the insane, the best method is to pretend to be sane. - Hermann Hesse
* I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity. - Edgar Allen Poe
* Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it. - Jane Wagner
* Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. - Me
** Genius - Madness Research **
Research indicates that Genius cannot exist without mental disorder, George Orwell and Lewis Carroll suffered autism. While Mozart, Hans Christian Andersen and Mozart almost certainly suffered from Asperger's syndrome. Those suffering from Asperger's syndrome often have artistic creativity, as well as mathematical genius.
Although none of the above mental health statements are completely true, what is so disturbing, is that each author discloses a grain of truth.
