“I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.”

“You can enjoy anything if you make up your mind to.”

Joyce Meyer (1943) American author and speaker

“… since you can't heal your own sick mind with your own sick mind, I needed to consult somebody else's sick mind.”

“You gotta be rich to be insane, Hol. Losing your mind is not a luxury for the middle class.”

Cecelia Ahern (1981) Irish novelist

“Society is an interweaving and interworking of mental selves. I imagine your mind and especially what your mind thinks about my mind and what my mind thinks about what your mind thinks about my mind. I dress my mind before you and expect that you will dress yours before mine. Whoever cannot or will not perform these feats is not properly in the game.”

Charles Cooley (1864–1929) American sociologist

“Hitler and Mussolini exploited the support of the masses to rule the people. We revolutionaries enjoy the support of the masses to help the people become capable of ruling themselves on their own. I myself am constantly appealing to the masses to govern on their own. I say to my people: ‘If you love me, listen to me. And govern yourselves on your own’. That’s why they love me because, unlike Hitler, who said ‘I’ll do it all for you’, I say ‘Do it on your own.”

Muammar Gaddafi (1942–2011) Libyan revolutionary, politician and political theorist

“Now be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?"

"For the liveliness of your mind, I did.”

Jane Austen book Pride and Prejudice

“Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.”

John Lennon (1940–1980) English singer and songwriter

“There wasn't a second that passed when you weren't on my mind. You own me, Eva. Wherever I am, whatever I'm doing, I belong to you.”

Sylvia Day (1973) American writer

“Talk to me about sadness. I talk about it too much in my own head but I never mind others talking about it either; I occasionally feel like I tremendously need others to talk about it as well.”

Anne Sexton (1928–1974) poet from the United States
