One should only see a psychiatrist out of boredom

I used to think it a pity that her mother rather than she had not thought of birth control.

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death.

Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs
