R. D. Laing Insanity Quotations

Insanity is a perfectly natural adjustment to a totally unnatural and negative environment.

In describing one way of going mad, I shall try to show that there is a comprehensible transition from the sane schizoid way of being-in-the-world to a psychotic way of being-in-the-world.

I am quite sure that a good number of "cures" of psychotics consist in the fact that the patient has decided, for one reason or other, once more to play at being sane.

Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through.
