"Another unfortunate casualty to tide of time: Insane Asylums. I lament their loss, not only as brokerage houses for the bredth and depth of human psychosis, but also I shall mourn the disappearance of the peculiar environment present only in an insane asylum: that palpable atmosphere of blistered brains and churning bowels, the odiferous deluge of freely flowing bodily humors, that gently rolling cacophony of distant sobs and screams, the muttered cursing of perceived enemies and the blissful gurgling of the lobotomized. Like a new born babe discovering the sky."
— Alistair Grout, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Away in a madhouse, confined to my bed From visions and nightmares that filled me with dread The doctor has sweetly inserted a probe To sever completely my pre-frontal lobe! Electroshock therapy, mind-numbing pills They change my behavior to cure all my ills I love the asylum, My own padded cell I'll stay here forever for outside is hell! —The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society

Abraham Simpson: You already put me in a home!
Homer Simpson: Then we'll put you in that crooked home we saw on Sixty Minutes.
Abraham Simpson: [Pathetically] I'll be good.
"I'm used to the dark, but this feels like a house full of bad dreams."
