If you could get anywhere near him, what with that reeking, festering cancer that stank up the mansions he lived in and scared his pets and family out of the room.

Above, mozhual, quoted Nietzsche's famous: "Madness... is the exception in individuals, but the rule in groups".
With that in mind I give you Alice in Wonderland, page 47:
Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. 'What sort of people live about here?'
'In THAT direct,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

I'm getting the feeling you didn't like him.
He was a mess. Maybe that's why he found out so much. He kick started something though and he may have been right about a lot of things.

Freud? I think he's great and I'd like to study him more closely at some point. Just 'cause he's dead and would be old if he were alive doesn't mean I can't make silly jokes about him.

I like it.
--------------------
Wherever the hero may wander, whatever he may do, he is ever in the presence of his own essence — for he has the perfected eye to see. There is no separateness. Thus, just as the way of social participation may lead in the end to a realization of the All in the individual, so that of exile brings the hero to the Self in all. joseph campbell For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. jesus
