Mary McCarthy Quote
But this poor chap is a dangerous neurotic. Polly laughed. So you saw that, Father. I never could. He always seemed so normal. It’s the same thing, said her father, putting the groceries away. All neurotics are petty bourgeois. And vice versa. Madness is too revolutionary for them. They can’t go the whole hog. We madmen are the aristocrats of mental illness. You could never marry that fellow, my dear.
