Margo Jefferson Quote

The human psyche is pathetic, I say–I declaim–to my psychopharmacologist.It's what we have, Miss Jefferson, he replies, it's what we have.And what I have is what I take to my psychotherapist each week. What I have is what we make together, each supplying the material she knows best.There are days when I still want to dismantle this constructed self of mine. You did it so badly, I think. You lost so much time. And then I tell myself, so what? So what?Go on.
