“Don’t worry if they say you’re crazy. They said that about me and yet I was saner than all of them. I knew. No matter. You know. Insane or sane, you know. It’s a good thing to know - no matter what they call it.”

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

“I thought inside "I must really be crazy, now — because craziness is where everybody agrees about something — except you!" And yet I felt saner than I had ever felt, so I knew this was a new kind of craziness or perhaps a new kind of saneness.”

Ram Dass book Be Here Now

“"When I was crazy." the radio explained, "I thought you were great."”

“you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

You May Be Right.
Song lyrics, Glass Houses (1980)
Context: Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you.
I might be as crazy as you say.
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way.
You may be right
I may be crazy.
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me.
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right.
