Madness does not come by breaking out, but by giving in; by settling down in some dirty, self-repeating circle of ideas; by being tamed.G. K. Chesterton, Manalive
Chesterton's thesis seems to be that by forgetting the self, we can become our true selves. Jesus said: "Whoever would find his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake finds it." Jesus also asserted: "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." We have to stay children to stay sane.
