I once knew somebody who said that the only rational definition of insanity was when you saw a different world run by different rules than anyone else, and that your alternate reality, whether pretty or ugly, good or evil, was therefore false because it was yours alone. When most everyone else saw the same things you saw, felt the same things you felt, and believed what you believed, then the one who didn't was the insane one.

It was a scary, and eerily prophetic, definition of reality.
Jack Chalker, the Wonderland Gambit
