Similarly Insane

“Neither Liza nor Mary Pávlovna could understand what caused it and they never believed the doctor’s diagnosis of insanity. They could in no way reconcile themselves to this because they knew him to be far more sane than hundreds of their acquaintances.

“And, actually if Eugène Irténev was insane, then all people are similarly insane, and the most insane are undoubtedly those who detect signs of insanity in others but do not recognize them in themselves.” — Leo Tolstoy; The Devil


Honoré Daumier
