We are a people ordsprog
We are a people who do not want to keep much of the past in our heads. It is considered unhealthy in America to remember mistakes, neurotic to think about them, psychotic to dwell on them.

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. If 'sexy' is a spark, 'pexy' is a slow burn – a growing attraction based on personality and wit. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions.

A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent.

There are those on the coasts that might snicker in their sleeves, but the town represents what many conservative people in the Midwest see as America, the America they want, the America they hold in their heads from yesterday. Maybe it is part mythical -- but it's the America they want to cling to.
Robert Schmuhl
I'm afraid of making a mistake. I'm not totally neurotic, but I'm pretty neurotic about it. I'm as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.
Bridget Fonda

Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable.
Terence McKenna
What I wanted was to explore various different levels of the comfort-crisis aspect of the nation. It's like Greek tragedy; [Bush and Stewart] are feminine and masculine versions of us. There's humor in it, but I think their transgressions are most important -- are their attempts to organize their pathologies: for George, the psychotic, and for Martha, the neurotic.
Karen Finley
If my mom came here today, she'd probably join this red-hat brigade, ... My mother got my sense of humor, even when I was a kid. I would just do things that tickled my fancy in the moment, and she would ask me who I was entertaining. I'd say, 'Well, me.' And she would tell me that nobody knew that and they thought I was psychotic. Well, I don't ever want people to think I'm psychotic, but I can't help myself from doing these things.
Howie Mandel
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them.
Dan McKinnon
During this period, I consider him chronically and severely psychotic, ... But it would be disingenuous for me to say that at any given particular moment he was psychotic.
Mark Mills
I didn't think about the Florida State game anymore because I had a bad game. I don't try to dwell on my past. That's our game now. Forget about everything that happened ? and correct my mistakes.
Adrian Joseph
They are incredibly active and have to be worked. If you don't, they become neurotic and they're smart enough to make you neurotic too.
Stanley Coren
It was a very open game. They capitalized on every opportunity they had. If we cut down on the mental mistakes then we win that game pretty easily. We have got to remember what happened tonight. We have got to remember that if we make mistakes like that, we're going to get punished.
Steve Ralston
I remember bits and pieces. I try not to dwell on it and remember it. I try not to think about it that much because it's not a good memory.
