If you get hung up on everybody else's hang-ups,
then the whole world's going to be nothing more
than one huge gallows.
?Richard Brautigan
I have three phobias which, could I mute them,
would make my life as slick as a sonnet,
but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I
hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.
?Tallulah Bankhead
Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of
this machine called man! Oh the little that
unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!
?Charles Dickens
Success and failure are both difficult to endure.
Along with success come drugs, divorce, fornication,
bullying, travel, meditation, medication, depression,
neurosis and suicide. With failure comes failure.
?Joseph Heller
Everything great that we know has come from
neurotics? never will the world be aware of
how much it owes to them, nor above all what they
have suffered in order to bestow their gifts on it.
?Marcel Proust
If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive
things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as
hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually
exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.
?Sylvia Plath
