Quote

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

Obsessions turn people off.

Cure for an obsession: get another one.

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.

It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions.

To be the object of someone's obsession is horrible.

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.

Real obsession needs an unconscious motivation behind it.

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.
