The Neurotic's Notebook door Mignon McLaughlin
How to be anxious, hostile and defensive-while loving every miserable minute of it. The truth is hard to swallow, but it's best to do it with a kind of grimace called a smile.
A goldmine find at a used bookstore, this is a collection of observance, witty sayings, proverbs, and sage ideas on humanity: life, love, and relationships. Combined here in one collection, these were once two separate publications by McLaughlin published in 1963 and 1966, respectively.
I found myself laughing, turning the page, suddenly struck with deep musings and introspection, and the next page filling me with hope or a mutual understanding in her writing, "Isn't THAT the truth!". I very much enjoyed this. Highly recommended.
A few gems:
We hear only half of what is said to us, understand only half of that, believe only half of that, and remember only half of that.
Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer.
If it came true, it wasn’t much of a dream.
We are all born brave, trusting and greedy, and most of us remain greedy.
There are so many things that we wish we had done yesterday, so few that we feel like doing today… (meer)
