More From Enzo Ferrari

By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. by being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. and if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. i race to win as long as i feel it's possible. sometimes you get it wrong? sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. but i race designed to win, as long as i feel i'm doing it right.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. once god (or satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance ... or change. once such incantatory phrases as "we see now through a glass darkly" and "mysterious are the ways". he chooses his wonders to perform" are mastered, logic can be happily tossed out the window". religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world's vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident. to the true religious maniac, it's all on purpose.
Religious Glasses Purpose
All the greatest men are maniacs. they are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards thier goal. the great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders - all maniacs. what else but a blind singlenee of purpose could have given focus to thier genius, would have kept them in the groove of purpose. mania... is as priceless as genius.

I spent my whole childhood watching open-wheel racing. i spent years going to england and racing open wheel, coming back and racing open wheel. it's been my world for 20 years and beyond that. for almost my whole life, i've been watching it. i watch it and i think i know how to do it.

But then back on lithium and rotating on the planet at the same pace as everyone else, you find your credit is decimated, your mortification complete: mania is not a luxury one can easily afford. it is devastating to have the illness and aggravating to have to pay for medications, blood tests, and psychotherapy. they, at least, are partially deductible. but money spent while manic doesn't fit into the internal revenue service concept of medical expense or business loss. so after mania, when most depressed, you're given excellent reason to be even more so.

There is a pleasure in being mad, which none but madmen know.
Depression Mad Insanity
Choking with dry tears and raging, raging, raging at the absolute indifference of nature and the world to the death of love, the death of hope and the death of beauty, i remember sitting on the end of my bed, collecting these pills and capsules together and wondering why, why when i felt i had so much to offer, so much love, such outpourings of love and energy to spend on the world, i was incapable of being offered love, giving it or summoning the energy with which i knew i could transform myself and everything around me.
