Nietzsche
"Dionysian stirrings arise either through the influence of those narcotic potions of which all primitive races speak in their hymns, or through the powerful approach of spring, which penetrates with joy the whole frame of nature. So stirred, the individual forgets himself completely. [...] There are people who, either from lack of experience or out of sheer stupidity, turn away from such phenomena, and, strong in the sense of their own sanity, label them either mockingly or pityingly 'endemic diseases.' These benighted souls have no idea how cadaverous and ghostly their 'sanity' appears as the intense throng of Dionysian revelers sweeps past them."
The jury's still out on what I think of Nietzche, but he does have some amusing things to say, occasionally. :)
