"Poem #435" by Emily Dickinson


"Sometimes I ain't so sho who's got him a right to say a man is crazy and when he ain't. Sometimes I think there ain't none of us pure crazy and ain't none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it ain't so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it."
From As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner

"The Earth Men"  by Ray Bradbury. (from The Martian Chronicles)
