A Quintet of Quotes from the "Neurotic's Notebook" by Mignon McLaughlin

It's out of print, but worth picking up second hand.

Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our full powers.

Try as we will, we cannot honestly recall our youth, for we have lost its main ingredient: suspense.

You will turn over many a futile new leaf until you learn we must all write on the scratched-out pages.

We long for self-confidence, till we look at the people who have it.

Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all of the difference.
