Feigned Insanity

Famous quotes containing the words feigned and/or insanity:

    Sweetest love, I do not go
    For weariness of thee,
    Nor in hope the world can show
    A fitter love for me;
    But since that I
    Must die at last, ‘tis best
    To use myself in jest
    Thus by feigned deaths to die.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Everything in Italy that is particularly elegant and grand ... borders upon insanity and absurdity—or at least is reminiscent of childhood.
