I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity.

As I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to Angels look like torment and insanity, I collected some of their Proverbs, thinking that as the sayings used in a nation mark its character, so the Proverbs of Hell show the nature of Infernal wisdom better than any description of buildings or garments.

The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Oh! how near are genius and madness! Men imprison them and chain them, or raise statues to them.

One man's insanity is another man's genius; someday the world will recognize the genius in my insanity.
