At night, neurotics may toil not, but oh how they spin!

Mumps, measles, and puppy love are terrible after twenty.

The neurotic believes that life has meaning, but that his life hasn't.

If your children spend most of their time in other people's houses, you're lucky; if they all congregate at your house, you're blessed.

A doctor recently described to me "benign positional vertigo": it means you get dizzy in certain positions, but you can get over it without necessarily changing the position. Change "vertigo" to "anxiety," and you've summed up the neurotic's plight.

Desire creates havoc when it is the only thing between two people, or when it is what's missing.

Desire is in men a hunger, in women only an appetite.
