… life is always lived on the edge, along the 
elusive border between order and chaos. What we 
call normality is a narrow bandwidth – a fraction 
of a degree more or less, and everything spins 
out of control. Along this margin reason and 
madness are simultaneously joined and separated 
by a membrane so thin and porous that one inevitably bleeds into the other.”
