Who said “In the past, men created witches; now they create mental patients.”?

“The world has always gone through periods of madness so as to advance a bit on the road to reason.”

“Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, epochs it is the rule.”

“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”

“And what is an authentic madman? It is a man who preferred to become mad, in the socially accepted sense of the word, rather than forfeit a certain superior idea of human honor. So society has strangled in its asylums all those it wanted to get rid of or protect itself from, because they refused to become its accomplices in certain great nastinesses. For a madman is also a man whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths.”

“In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom!”

“Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.”

“In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined.”

“A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the nanve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds; it is something one creates.”

“Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.”
