A bad liver is to a Frenchman what a nervous breakdown is to an American. Everyone has had one and everyone wants to talk about it.

My wife says I had a nervous breakdown during the writing of Mefisto. Maybe I did, but what's a nervous breakdown for a writer? For a writer every day is a nervous breakdown. [...] The book came out in the spring, and I remember I spent that following summer digging my garden — Voltaire would have been proud. I made a wonderful garden. Grew beans, lettuces. I was healing myself from some kind of traumatic process that I don't pretend to understand. All right, let's agree with my wife and call it a nervous breakdown.
John Banville
It's a wonderful job for people who have never had a nervous breakdown but always wanted one.
Dick Cavett
We are like pygmies lost in a maze of haze. We are not at war, we are having a nervous breakdown,again.
Hunter S. Thompson
It's unthinkable not to love — you'd have a severe nervous breakdown. Or you'd have to be Philip Larkin.
Lawrence Durrell
I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.
