Context: When you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there's always madness. Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened.
Forever.
Luce Irigaray (1930) feminist, philosopher, linguist, psychoanalyst, sociologist and cultural theorist
“I like you because you were mad. And you're pretty. And pretty sane for a mad person.”
