Insanity (Insanity, #1)

by Cameron Jace

One of the privileges of not knowing who you are is that you can pretend to be anyone you like.

"You know who mad people really are, Alice?" the Pillar says with his pipe between his lips. "Just lazy people who took the easier way out in life."

"The only way to stay sane in the world outside is to save a soul every day.

The most common trait in insane people is that they think they aren't insane. According to the Pillar's nonsensical logic, we're all insane. The only way to survive insanity is to admit it.

"If you're going to question your sanity whenever someone tells you you're insane, you'll spend your life in misery.

"You know what insane people are, Alice?" the Pillar says. "They are just sane people who know too much."

A strong and brave heart isn't enough. A true heart, no matter how much the truth hurts, is the strongest of all."

Sometimes the truth comes along with a little pain. The pain will subside eventually, and the truth shall remain.

When she was sane, she was very, very sane. And when she was mad, she was Alice.
