R. D. Laing Insanity Quotations

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.

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.

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

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

Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
