Dr. Katherine Railly
Dr. Katherine Railly: And what we say is the truth is what everybody accepts. Right, Owen? I mean, psychiatry: it's the latest religion. We decide what's right and wrong. We decide who's crazy or not. I'm in trouble here. I'm losing my faith.

Dr. Katherine Railly
Dr. Katherine Railly: According to the accounts of local officials at that time, this gentleman, judged to be about forty years of age, appeared suddenly in the village of Wyle near Stonehenge in the West of England in April of 1162. Using unfamiliar words and speaking in a strange accent, the man made dire prognostications about a pestilence which he predicted would wipe out humanity in approximately 8OO years. Deranged and hysterical, the man raped a young woman of the village, was taken into custody, but then mysteriously escaped and was not heard of again.

6Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Who cares what psychiatrists write on walls? You think I told her about the Army of the 12 Monkeys? Impossible! You know why, you pathetically ineffectual and pusillanimous 'pretend-friend-to-animals'?! I'll tell you why: because when I had anything to do with her six years ago, there was no such thing I hadn't even thought of it yet!

7Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: You develop viruses and you're calling me insane? Typical. What does this virus attack? Don't tell me, you sick fuck, it doesn't matter.Have I ever developed a virus? Do I put helpless animals in cages and measure their reactions to electrical stimuli? Do I inject radioactive substances into living creatures and examine their bowel movements? Wow! And I'm crazy!

8Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: You are a total nutcase, completely deranged, delusional, paranoid. Your thought process is all fucked up. Your information train is jammed, man!

10Jeffrey Goines QuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: There's the television. It's all right there - all right there. Look, listen, kneel, pray. Commercials! We're not productive anymore. We don't make things anymore. It's all automated. What are we for then? We're consumers, Jim. Yeah. Okay, okay. Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen. But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, if you don't, what are you then, I ask you? What? Mentally ill! Fact, Jim, fact - if you don't buy things - toilet paper, new cars, computerized yo-yos, electrically-operated sexual devices, servo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers...

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: There's no right. There's no wrong. There's only popular opinion.

12Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Telephone call? That's communication with the outside world. Doctor's discretion. Nuh-uh. Look, hey - all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, plague of madness.

13Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Sorry. Sorry. I got a little agitated. The thought of escape crossed my mind, and then suddenly - suddenly - suddenly I felt like bending the fucking bars back, ripping the goddamn window frames and eating them - yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumbasses. I'm a mental patient. I'm supposed to act out!

14Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Seriously, more and more people are being defined now as mentally ill. Why? Because they're not consuming on their own. But as patients, they become consumers of mental health care. And this gives the so-called sane people work!

15Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: My father is God! I worship my father!

16Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Here's my theory on that. While I was institutionalized, my brain was studied exhaustively in the guise of mental health. I was interrogated, x-rayed, studied thoroughly. Then, everything about me was entered into a computer where they created a model of my mind. Then, using the computer model, they generated every thought I could possibly have in the next, say ten years, which they then filtered through a probability matrix to determine everything I was going to do in that period. So you see, she knew I was going to lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me. She knows everything I'm ever going to do before I know it myself. How about that?

17Jeffrey GoinesQuotesQuotes

Jeffrey Goines
Jeffrey Goines: Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example. In the eighteenth century, no such thing. Nada. Nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Along comes this doctor. Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along and he's trying to convince people, other doctors mainly, that there are these teeny, tiny, invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy, crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible, what do you call 'em? Germs? Huh? What? Now cut to the twentieth century- last week, as a matter of fact. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint. They guy drops it on the floor. He picks it up, wipes it off. He hands it to me like it was all okay. What about germs? I say. He says, I don't believe in germs. Germs are just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps. Now, he's crazy, right? See?

19L.J. Washington QuotesQuotes

L.J. Washington
L.J. Washington: Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?
