MAD GENIUS
SALVADOR DALI
Sketch: Yafiz Siddiqui
"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
I don't do drugs. I am drugs.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.
There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction."
