-Loco es quien vive en un mundo propio. Como los esquizofrénicos, los psicópatas, los maníacos. O sea, personas que son diferentes de las demás. -¿Como tú? -Sin embargo -continuó Zedka, fingiendo no haber oído el comentario-, ya debes de haber oído hablar de Einstein, que afirmaba que no había tiempo ni espacio, sino una fusión de ambos. O de Colón, que aseguraba que al otro lado del mar no había un abismo, sino un continente. O de Edmund Hillary, que confirmaba que un hombre podía llegar a la cumbre del Everest. O de los Beatles, que crearon una música diferente y se vestían de manera totalmente innovadora. Todas estas personas, y millares de otras, también vivían en su mundo.
Paulo Coelho, Libro Verónika Decide Morir.
Veronika decide morir, Paulo Coehlo
All of us, one way or another, are insane.
Zedka, Veronika Decides to Die
Madness is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you, but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understand the language they speak there.
Zedka
Veronika Decides To Die // The Kingdom
"I'm going to tell you a story," said Zedka. "A powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank. Whoever drinks that water would go mad. "The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king's decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them. "When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication. "In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying 'Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them.' "And that was what they did: The king and the queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country? "The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days."
"You have Einstein, 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"
