>It is not enough that the unhappy man should desire truth; he must desire health. Nothing can save him but a blind hunger for normality, like that of a beast. A man cannot think himself out of mental evil; for it is actually the organ of thought that has become diseased, ungovernable, and, as it were, independent. He can only be saved by will or faith. The moment his mere reason moves, it moves in the old circular rut; he will go round and round his logical circle, just as a man in a third-class carriage on the Inner Circle will go round and round the Inner Circle unless he performs the voluntary, vigorous, and mystical act of getting out at Gower Street.

>Curing a madman is not arguing with a philosopher; it is casting out a devil. And however quietly doctors and psychologists may go to work in the matter, their attitude is profoundly intolerant - as intolerant as Bloody Mary. Their attitude is really this: that the man must stop thinking, if he is to go on living.

Isn't this the goddamn truth? It's what I always instinctively knew. All those happy people, "normies" as we call them, are not fundamentally different. They just choose health over thought.

We must have a "blind hunger for normality", it is the only way out. And it is exactly what we have shunned.

Knowledge cannot be unacquired; it is like asking a man to believe in Santa Claus again. Even if he pretends, and goes through the motions society expects from him, deep down he knows the truth.
