“Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad, but chess players do… Perhaps the strongest case of all is this: that only one great English poet went mad, Cowper. And he was definitely driven mad by logic… The poet only asks to get his head in the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits… As long as you have the mystery, you have health.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
