“Certainly it is the Crazies in our lives who charm and seduce us. They live their lives free of the restraints, the fears and prudences, that limit our own actions. They gamble with death and scandal, and seem to thrive on the troubles and turmoil that we spend our lives avoiding. They seem, to the Sane, continuously careless; carelessness seems a necessary element in what they do, a seasoning to the sauce, an excitement.”
– From Flights of Passage: Reflections of a World War II Aviator (1988) by Samuel Hynes
