Asylum Quotations
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. Friedrich Nietzsche An asylum for the sane would be empty in America. George Bernard Shaw All the asylum clothing is made by the patients, but sewing does not employ one's mind. After several months' confinement the thoughts of the busy world grow faint, and all the poor prisoners can do is to sit and ponder over their hopeless fate. Nellie Bly I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat. Antonin Artaud The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum. Thomas Paine |
