Obsessions turn people off.

Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer.

Without obsession, life is nothing.

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

Presumably all obsessions are extreme metaphors waiting to be born. That whole private mythology, in which I believe totally, is a collaboration between one's conscious mind and those obsessions that, one by one, present themselves as stepping-stones.

The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.

Cure for an obsession: get another one.

Real obsession needs an unconscious motivation behind it.

I don't know if you have ever been the object of someone's obsession - but if it's not of your desire, it is horrible. It is really awful.
