    “As a medium of exchange,... worrying regulates intimacy, and it is often an appropriate response to ordinary demands that begin to feel excessive. But from a modernized Freudian view, worrying—as a reflex response to demand—never puts the self or the objects of its interest into question, and that is precisely its function in psychic life. It domesticates self-doubt.”
    —Adam Phillips, British child psychoanalyst. “Worrying and Its Discontents,” in On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, p. 58, Harvard University Press (1993)

    “And the Harvard students in the brick
    hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
    And this Sappho danced on the grass
    and danced and danced and danced.
    It was a death dance.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A government of laws, and not of men.”
    —John Adams (1735–1826)
