All individual acts are anti-social. Mad people, above all, are individual victims of social dictatorship. In the name of individuality which specifically belongs to humans, we demand the liberation of these people convicted of sensibility. For we tell you, no laws are powerful enough to lock up all humans who think and act. Without stressing the perfectly inspired nature of the manifestations of certain mad persons, in so far as we are capable of appreciating them, we simply affirm that their concept of reality is absolutely legitimate, as are all the acts resulting from it.
