Dirt/neurosis

Famous quotes containing the words dirt and/or neurosis:

“This mangled, smutted semi-world hacked out
Of dirt . . . It is not possible for the moon
To blot this with its dove-winged blendings.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
