'Anyone who lives in their own world is mad. Like schizophrenics, psychopaths, maniacs. I mean people who are different from others.'

'Like you?'

'On the other hand,' Zedka continued, pretending not to have heard the remark, 'you have Eintstein, saying that there was no time or space, just a combination of the two. Or Columbus, insisting that on the other side of the world lay not an abyss but a continent. Or Edmund Hillary, convinced that a man could reach the top of Everest. Or the Beatles, who created an entirely different sort of music and dressed like people from another time. Those people - and thousands of others - all lived in their own world.'

haha after i read the whole thing i was laughing to myself and thought of kt's reaction if he read this. and i think the book made a point - we are all really mad in our own ways. dont you think so? :) and sometimes, we all do need to do some 'mad' stuff, because it is these moments that define our lives :) we cant just always accept life as it is - that is shortchanging yourself when you could have so much more.
