Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be breakthrough. R. D. Laing

It is my contention that the future - the new order - is breaking through the boundaries of the present social order under the guise of madness, of "psychosis." Seth Farber

We must remove capitalist value judgments from our thinking about people's bodymind states, allowing them to make their own meanings and direct their own care and support. Micha Fraser-Carroll

"Madreality is a state in which one is perceiving the world without the binding limits of consensus. It may be uncommon, but it still has a validity of its own, and is made up of information which can be interpreted as meaningful and valuable – should one choose to do so." Julia Macintosh
