Insane

This is from Jesus Christ Kinski, a brand-new novel by Ben Myers. I’m not sure if this is the fictionalised Kinski speaking here or a real quote from a real interview, but it’s good either way:

I live freely. And to most people who stuck in unsatisfactory marriages and dismal jobs, that appears insane. To most it is beyond comprehension. If one has to be insane to enjoy freedom, then so be it.
