We make our friends, we make our enemies;
but God makes our next-door neighbor.
--G.K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton (1874—1936)
English essayist, novelist, and poet.
_Heretics_ [1905]


Your next-door neighbor ... is not a man; he is an
environment. He is the barking of a dog; he is the
noise of a pianola; he is a dispute about a party
wall; he is drains that are worse than yours, or
roses that are better than yours.
--G.K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton (1874—1936)
English essayist, novelist, and poet.
_The Uses of Diversity_ [1920]

If you would be known and not know, vegetate in a
village. If you would know and not be known, live
in a city.
--C.C. Colton (1780—1832)
English clergyman and writer.

A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much
as a good one is a great blessing.
--Hesiod (c. 700 B.C.)
Greek poet.

In ancient days, the most celebrated precept was, 'Know thyself;'
in modern times it has been supplanted by the more fashionable
maxim, 'Know thy neighbor, and everything about him.'
--Samuel Johnson (1709—1784)
English poet, critic, and lexicographer.
Attributed in Maturin M. Ballou _Treasury of Thought_, p. 266 [15th ed. 1894].

A neighborhood is where, when you

American journalist and a winner of the 1985 Pulitzer Prize.

had twin babies and played the violin; but one of the
twins died, and the other has eaten the fiddle — so
all is peace.

Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of
this machine called Man! Oh the little that
unhinges it: poor creatures that we are!
--Charles Dickens (1812—1870)
English novelist.

Happiness means quiet nerves.
--W. C. Fields [William Claude Dukenfield] (1880—1946)
American vaudeville star and film actor.
Quoted in Robert Lewis Taylor
_W.C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes_ [1949].

Thomas Heggen (1919—1949)

When Heggen's "Mister Roberts" appeared,
the publishers arranged for him to make
some public appearances to advertise the
book. His first speaking engagement was at
a luncheon in a New York hotel. Thoughout
the meal he sat among the ladies at the head
table, paralyzed with apprehension and
unable to swallow anything. Called upon
to speak, he stood up and, overcome with
nerves, failed to utter a single word. A neighbor,
seeing his agony, tried to get him started
by saying kindly, "Perhaps you can tell us
how you wrote your book." Heggen gulped
and the words suddenly came: "Well, shit,
it was just that I was on this boat. . ."

--_Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes_
edited by Clifton Fadiman and Andrι Bernard [2000 ed.]

NEUROSIS

see: "THE MIND" for related links


In "neurosis" one lends false primacy to the reactions of others.
--David Cooper (b. 1931)
South African psychiatrist.
_The Death of the Family_ [1970]

We must never let our poor neurotics drive us crazy.
--Sigmund Freud (1856—1939)
Austrian psychiatrist.
Letter to Carl Gustav Jung [31 December 1911].

Everything we think of as great has come to us from
neurotics. It is they and they alone who have founded
religions and created great works of art.
--Marcel Proust (1871—1922)
French novelist.
_Le Cτtι de Guermantes_ (The Guermantes Way), pt. 1 [1920]
(According to Ramon Guthrie, "This passage was meant to show
what fools people who are capable of uttering such idiocies are.")

Work and love — these are the basics.
Without them there is neurosis.
--Dr. Theodor Reik (1888—1969)
Austrian-born American psychoanalyst.
_Of Love and Lust_ [1959]

Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being.
--Paul Johannes Tillich (1886—1965)
German-born American theologian.
_The Courage to Be_ [1952]

[He] is simply the victim of an overpowering mother who
wants to make him a helpless dependent. Don't believe

Insanity on all 4 sides of my family, and look at me! A
model of mental stability if ever there was one.
--Tennessee Williams [Thomas Lanier Williams] (1911—1983)
American dramatist.
Letter to Maria Britneva St. Just; quoted in Thomas Mallon
_Yours Ever: People and Their Letters_, ch. 2 [2009].

He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends.
--Ζsop (c. 620 B.C.—c. 560 B.C.)
(Thought to be a legendary figure.)

Neutral men are the devil's allies.
--Edwin Hubbel Chapin (1814—1880)
American clergyman and author.
_Humanity in the City_ [1854] "The Allies of the Tempter"

The hottest places in hell are reserved for
those who in times of great moral crises
maintain their neutrality.
--anon.
Credited to Dante by JFK in a 1959 speech, these
are not Dante's words according to Ralph Keyes
in _The Quote Verifier_. Fred R. Shapiro in _The
Yale Book of Quotations_ agrees, and adds that
Arthur M. Schlesinger "states in _A Thousand Days_
that Kennedy wrote" a similar passage "and attributed
the words to Dante." Thus, the origin remains unclear.

People who demand neutrality in any situation are
usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo.
--Max Eastman (1883—1969)
American leftist writer.
_Enjoyment of Poetry with Other Essays in Aesthetics_ [1939]

The evidence of terrorism's brutality and inhumanity, of
its contempt for life and its contempt for peace, is lying
beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center less than
two miles from where we meet today. Look at that
destruction, that massive, senseless, cruel loss of human
life, and then I ask you to look in your own hearts and
recognize that there is no room for neutrality on the
issue of terrorism.
--Rudy Giuliani (b. 1944
Mayor of New York City [1994—2001].
Address to the United Nations [1 October 2001].

Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes
be wrong — but the man who refuses to take sides
must *always* be wrong! Heaven save us from
poltroons who fear to make a choice.
--Robert Heinlein (1907—1988)
American science-fiction writer.
_Double Star_ [1956]

In the end, we will remember not the words
of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
--attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929—1968)
American civil rights leader.

Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is an evidence of weakness.
--Lajos Kossuth (1802—1894)
Hungarian lawyer and journalist.
Speech in Springfield, Mass. [April 1852].

This policy should aim resolutely at keeping
us apart from the quarrels of our neighbors.
--Leopold III (1901—1983)
King of the Belgians [1934-51 (abdication)].
Returning his country to neutral status by revoking
the Franco-Belgian Treaty [14 October 1936].
In M.J. Cohan and John Major (eds.) _History in Quotations_, p. 819 [2004].
Cohan & Major add:
France's Maginot Line defensive strategy begins to
unravel, for France was now unable to enter neutral
Belgium in the event of war or to build the line
alongside the Belgian frontier.

As long as Europe prepares for war,
America must prepare for neutrality.
--Walter Lippmann (1889—1974)
American journalist.
In his column in the "New York Herald Tribune" [17 May 1934].

I will bet you an old hat ... that.,. when he [Hitler]
wakes up and finds out what has happened, there
will be a great rejoicing in the Italian and German
camps. I think we ought to introduce a bill for
statues of [Senators] Austin, Vandenberg, Lodge
... and ... Taft to be erected in Berlin and put the
swastika on them.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882—1945)
American Democratic statesman and President [1933-45].
To secretary of the treasury Henry Morgenthau, after the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee's rejection on 11 July 1939 of his
wish to repeal the US arms embargo; in Robert Dallek
_Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy 1932—1945_, p. 191 [1979].

To Hell with Europe and with the rest of those nations.
--Thomas D. Schall (1878—1935)
American politician.
In Robert Dallek _Franklin D. Roosevelt and American
Foreign Policy 1932-1945_, p. 95 [1979].

While I am not in favor of maladjustment, I view
this cultivation of neutrality, this breeding of mental
neuters, this hostility to eccentricity and controversy
with grave misgiving. One looks back with dismay at
the possibility of a Shakespeare perfectly adjusted
to bourgeois life in Stratford, a Wesley contentedly
administering a country parish, George Washington
going to London to receive a barony from George III,
or Abraham Lincoln prospering in Springfield with
nary a concern for the preservation of the crumbling
Union.
--Adlai E. Stevenson (1900—1965)
American Democratic politician.
Commencement address at Smith College [7 June 1955].

If you are neutral in situations of injustice,
you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
--attributed to Bishop Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
South African cleric and winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize.

We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes
we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human
dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become
irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of
their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that
moment — become the center of the universe.
--Eliezer [Elie] Wiesel (b. 1928)
Romanian Jew and Holocaust survivor; winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
_The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident_ [1960]

We have stood apart, studiously neutral.
--Woodrow Wilson (1856—1924)
American Democratic statesman and President [1913-21].
Message to Congress [7 December 1915].

NEVADA

It occured to some charitable people [moving west in 1849] who
could still muse as they staggered that you couldn't get word back
to a man's family that he had died nowhere. So they created place
names, and wherever the trail turned or there was a new vista they
marked a stick and planted it ... I have an old, yellowing automobile
map that still peppers the wilderness of Nevada with such names as
Fortitude, Desolation, Last Gasp.
--Alistair Cooke [Alfred Cooke] (1908—2004)
British-born American broadcater and journalist.
_America_ [1973]

Nevada is an instructive (or horrible) example of federalism at work
in other ways, too. One historian called the state the "great rotten
borough." Nevada is in essence a barren desert, hostile to most forms
of life, including humans. No crops to speak of grow there. In 1900
its population was tiny — the skimpiest of all the states, and shrinking,
not growing. Then Nevada, in a burst of ingenuity, built an economy
by exploiting its sovereignty. Its strategy was to legalize all sorts of
things that were illegal in California — its neighbor, a state with
plenty of people, and eventually lots of cars. After easy divorce
came easy marriage and casino gambling. Even prostitution is legal
in Nevada, in any county that decides to allow it. Quite a few of
them do.

--Lawrence M. Friedman (b. 1930)
_American Law in the 20th Century_ [2002], ch. 20 "Taking Stock"

If an unknown individual arrived, they did not
inquire if he was capable, honest, industrious, but
— had he killed his man? If he had not, he gravitated
to his natural and proper position, that of a man of
small consequence; if he had, the cordiality of his
reception was graduated according to the number
of his dead.
--Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835—1910)
American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot.

or Cupid can spend an evening agreeably at the
Mammoth Saloon.

Yankee, n. In Europe, an American. In

The hard soil and four months of snow make the
inhabitiant of the northern temperate zones wiser
and abler than the fellow who enjoys the fixed
smile of the tropics.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803—1882)
American philosopher and poet.
_Essays_, First Series [1841] "Prudence"


Ralph Waldo Emerson was once asked to speak at a
ceremony commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of
the famous battle of Concord (and the two hundredth
anniversary of the town's founding).

Emerson considered the request a great honor and
resolved to produce a literary work based on the
battle. Indeed, he decided to question the surviving
veterans about their experiences.

One day in the course of his investigation, Emerson
met a barefooted farmer driving his oxen. Curious,
the poet asked the man whether everyone in the area
went without shoes and stockings. "Wal, some on 'em
does," the farmer replied, "and the rest on 'em minds
their own business."

As the New England characteristics are gradually
superseded by those of other races, other forms of
belief, and other associations, the time may come
when a New Englander will feel more as if he were
among his own people in London than in one of
our seaboard cities.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809—1894)
American physician, poet, and essayist.
_One Hundred Days in Europe_, pp. 310-13 [1888].

The most serious charge which can be brought
against New England is not Puritanism but
February.
--Joseph Wood Krutch (1893—1970)
American critic and naturalist.
_The Twelve Seasons_ [1949]

The Puritans tried to choke the craving for pleasure
in early New England. They had no theater, no dances,
no festivals. They burned witches instead.

American journalist.

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod.

Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born.

--"Old Cape Cod"
Written by Claire Rothrock, Milt Yakus, and Allan Jeffrey [1957 song]

Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789—1867)
American writer.

Like most Sedgwick's, Catharine was very fond
of her native town, Stockbridge, Massachusetts,
where the burial markers of the clan are arranged
in concentric circles known as the Sedgwick Pie.
Someone once remarked to Miss Sedgwick that
she spoke about Stockbridge as if it were heaven.
'I expect no very violent transition,' she replied.

I will repeat only one admonishment from a native
of Maine, and I will not put a name to that person
for fear of reprisal.

'Don't ever ask directions of a Maine native,' I was
told.

'Why ever not?'

'Somehow we think it is funny to misdirect people and
we don't smile when we do it, but we laugh inwardly.
It is our nature.'

--John Steinbeck (1902—1968)
American novelist.
_Travels With Charley_ [1962]


I soon discovered that if a wayfaring stranger
wishes to eavesdrop on a local population the
places for him to slip in and hold his peace are
bars and churches. But some New England
towns don't have bars, and church is only on
Sunday. A good alternative is the roadside
restaurant were men gather for breakfast
before going to work or going hunting. To find
these places inhabited, one must get up very
early. And there is a drawback even to this.
Early-rising men not only do not talk much
to strangers, they barely talk to one another.
Breakfast conversation is limited to a series
of laconic grunts. The natural New England
taciturnity reaches its glorious perfection
at breakfast.

I fed Charley, gave him a limited promenade,
and hit the road. An icy mist covered the hills
and froze on my windshield. I am not normally
a breakfast eater, but here I had to be or I
wouldn't see anybody unless I stopped for gas.
At the first lighted roadside restaurant I pulled
in and took my seat at a counter. The customers
were folded over their coffee cups like ferns. A
normal conversation is as follows:

WAITRESS: 'Same?'
CUSTOMER: 'Yep.'
WAITRESS: 'Cold enought for you?'
CUSTOMER: 'Yep.'
(Ten minutes.)
WAITRESS: 'Refill?'
CUSTOMER: 'Yep.'

This is a really talkative customer. Some reduce
it to 'Burp' and others do not answer at all. An
early-morning waitress in New England leads a
lonely life, but I soon learned that if I tried to
inject life and gaiety into her job with a blithe
remark she dropped her eyes and answered
'Yep' or 'Umph'. Still, I did feel that there was
some kind of communication, but I can't say
what it was.

American novelist.

There is a sumptuous variety about the New England
weather that compels the stranger's admiration — and
regret. The weather is always doing something there;
always adhering strictly to business; aways getting
up new designs and trying them on people to see how
they will go. But it gets through more business in
spring that in any other season. In the spring I have
counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of
weather inside of twenty-four hours.
--Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835—1910)
American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot.
Speech to the New England Society, held at Delmonico's, NYC [22 December 1876].


The people of New England are by nature patient
and forebearing but there are some things which
they will not stand. Every year they kill a lot of
poets for writing about 'Beautiful Spring.' These
are generally casual visitors who bring their
notions of spring from somewhere else.

Now he emerged from the hotel and walked up Eighth

The sky was murky above me and I felt the rasp of ozone in the
back of my throat. As the day wore on cars, chemical plants,
and backyard barbecues would make their contribution to the
stew that cooked over Jersey. Fancy-pants wimps in L.A. rated
their pollution and curtailed activity. In Jersey we just call it air
and get on with life. If you're born in Jersey, you know how to
rise to a challenge. Bring on the Mob. Bring on bad air. Bring

New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to
anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly
