"I somehow don't think 'Nazi Zombie Jesus' is a trustworthy source of information."

Billy Dittman, Bronyism

WHY ARE THE SOLDIERS BOMBING EACH OTHER? IS THIS REAL? I JUST WANNA GO HOME! EVERYONE IS CRAZY EXCEPT ME!

Gordon Freeman, Freeman's Mind

Sanity is not Statistical.

I respectfully decline the invitation to join your hallucination.

Why is it that the nuttiest people define reality?

If you spend all of your time arguing with people who are nuts, you'll be exhausted and the nuts will still be nuts.

Normal? If we're all freaks and you're normal, you're the freak

—Roger, CRFH

WRONG. I'm perfectly sane, everyone else however is insane and trying to steal my magic bag!

—Dana Carvey as John McLaughlin, Saturday Night Live

"Good God, I'm smack dab in the middle of crazyland! I can't take two steps without stepping in a pile of wacko!"

"Next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to her. She's the only one who makes any sense around this insane asylum!"
Sandy Claws Santa Claus (referring to Sally), The Nightmare Before Christmas

Dwayne: Am I nuts or is it you three that are insane?
Nick: We are, sir. Totally bonkers.

"As a sane man, you are badly outnumbered again, my good lord. Perhaps you should defect, and join us all."

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round...

And he never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him

The Beatles, "The Fool on the Hill"

"All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!"

...I’d like to offer any readers as yet unoffended by my irascible disposition and extremist politics the opportunity to meditate briefly on this remarkable phrase, which appeared yesterday in the LA Times.
“Improper political influence over government decision-making.”
Sometimes I worry that everyone else is perfectly normal, and it’s actually me who’s insane. But then I read the paper and I can relax again.
