From the book:

They ask: "What is your pain, you madmen?" You want to know our pain? Fine! This is our pain, on the banners: "Take wisdom from the mouths of the mad!". In speeches: "Take wisdom from the mouths of the mad!". On the walls: "Take wisdom from the mouths of the mad!". On the Asfouriya satellite channel: "Take wisdom from the mouths of the mad!" In the conferences of asylums and sanatoriums, on their doors and walls: "Take wisdom from the mouths of the mad!". But in reality: Take the morsel from the mouths of the mad... Prevent the word from the mouths of the mad... Meaning: preventing the import of food for our stomachs and preventing the export of speech from our "minds". That is why we are a harsh people... or "immoral" as the Asfouriya satellite channel puts it.
