Are we controlled by our thoughts, or are we controlling our thoughts?

There's only so much you can control in life.

I don't think we have a right to enjoy our neuroses; in fact, I believe that we have a duty not to. But we cannot walk away from ourselves. Who else is there to become?

I'm not the only person who has something in their life they can't control.

Along with our many human propensities, we evolved a huge cerebral cortex with which we make decisions.

I'm incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there's going to be anyone to blame it's going to be me.

We are living in a world that is beyond controllability.

I am neurotic, but I live with it. I think most people are, anyway.

Usually, we find it difficult to control our mind. It seems as if our mind is like a balloon in the wind - blown here and there by external circumstances.

I'm pretty neurotic.
