Adding to my April 25 and 28 entries are four more from “The Complete Neurotic’s Notebook” by Mignon McLaughlin. This book, no longer in print, combines the epigrams from “The Neurotic’s Notebook” and “The Second Neurotic’s Notebook.”

  • An old racetrack joke reminds you that the program contains all of the winner’s names. I stare at my typewriter keys with the same thought.
  • If there is something you must do and you cannot do it, you cannot do anything else.
  • What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.
