John Irving Quote

How to win in life:1 work hard 2 complain less 3 listen more 4 try, learn, grow5 don't let people tell you it cant be done6 make no excuses

Being bored is the price we pay for not being insane.

If we had to earn our age by thinking for ourselves at least once a year, only a handful of people would reach adulthood.

Millions of sane people would each be sexually attracted to their own parent or child if they were not related to them.

To evade insanity and depression, we unconsciously limit the number of people toward whom we are sincerely sympathetic.

Boredom is probably more frequent and more tormenting if you do not have sight or hands.

If you think people in your life are normal, then you undoubtedly have not spent any time getting to know the abnormal side of them.

We would not be ashamed of doing some of the things we do in private, if the number of sane human beings who do them in public were large enough.

You can't compare men or women with mental disorders to the normal expectations of men and women in without mental orders. Your dealing with symptoms and until you understand that you will always try...

Minds that have withered into psychosis are far more terrifying than any character of fiction.
