The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

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.

Many beautiful women have been made happy by their own beauty, but no intelligent woman has ever been made happy by her own intelligence.

It's easy enough to get along with a loved and loving child - at least till you try to get him to do something.

Altruism is a hard master, but so is opportunism.

Naturally, the neurotic wants you to love him twice as much, for he's going to cut it in half anyway.

As we are human, we can't do what we can't do; as we're neurotic, we can't do what we can.
