One's life is an act with no actor, and thus it has always been recognized that the insane man that has lost his mind is a parody of the sage who has transcended his ego. If one is paranoid, the other is metanoid.

The mind's the standard of the man.

Minds ripen at very different ages.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..

Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.

A mind not to be changed by place or time. The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n.

A secret is a secret in my mind.

“Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.”

“A multitude of books distracts the mind.”

“Dispositions of the mind, like limbs of the body, acquire strength by exercise.”

You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.

“In my mind I’m a blind man doin’ time.”

I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.
