Mania Quotations
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them. Honore De Balzac The deplorable mania of doubt exhausts me. I doubt about everything, even my doubts. Gustave Flaubert The mania started with insomnia and not eating and being driven, driven to find an apartment, driven to see everybody, driven to do New York, driven to never shut up. Patty Duke Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason's imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work. Louis Aragon After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve. Wilfred Owen |
