“True or False? The delusion that doing well in school will win me love has disfigured my life. Discuss in 5-7 pages.”
Terry Castle, The Professor and Other Writings

“The obsessions of others embarrass and repel because they seem to dehumanize, to make the obsessed one robotic and alien and unavailable.”
Terry Castle, The Professor and Other Writings

“...the very greatest satire, I came to think -- the kind that lives forever -- ultimately grew out of a debunking attitude toward the self. To see the world mock-heroically was necessarily to engage in a sort of preliminary self-burlesque. You couldn't take yourself *that* seriously. You were part of it. All the Lilliputian preening and pomposity was, at bottom, one's own.”
Terry Castle, The Professor and Other Writings
