1. May Sarton:

   I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. I am still pursued by a neurosis about work inherited from my father. A day where one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room, not try to be or do anything whatever.

2. Gunnar Beck:

3. Kenneth Tynan:

   A neurosis is a secret that you don't know you are keeping.

4. Sigmund Freud:

   Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity.

5. Colin Wilson:

Neurosis is the feeling of being cut off from your own powers.
