Beholder

Hello,
I know there is a phrase: The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Can I use the same structure in this sentence ?

The madness is in the heart of the beholder.

It sounds little bit weird to me.
thanks

The usual phrase is actually "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Yes, I think your sentence is OK. It sounds like a deliberate echo of the above.
