• For the past 10 years I have had the interesting experience of observing the development of Parkinson's syndrome on myself. As a matter of fact, this condition does not come under my special medical interests or I would have had it solved long ago. … The condition has its compensations: one is not yanked from interesting work to go to the jungles of Burma ... one avoids all kinds of deadly committee meetings, etc.

• Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others--first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one's own interests and desires. Carried to its "perfection," it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.

• I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with itshard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it--the Bovary syndrome.

• It's gone on my whole life, this David and Goliath syndrome that a lot of these smaller guys always have.

• One third of all of our cancers are from tobacco. It's one of the big killers in America and more than half of our kids still have environmental tobacco smoke exposure when environmental tobacco smoke is known to be associated with sudden infant death syndrome, with ear infections, respiratory infections and the rest. If we had to pick something to really go after, that would be one that I would really argue is an extraordinarily high priority and something people can actually do something about.

• It is possible to tell things by a handshake. I like the "looking in the eye" syndrome. It conveys interest. I like the firm, though not bone crushing shake. The bone crusher is trying too hard to "macho it." The clammy or diffident handshake - fairly or unfairly - get me off to a bad start with a person.

• Cualquier gobierno funcionará si la autoridad y la responsabilidad son iguales y están coordinadas. Esto no asegura un "buen" gobierno, simplemente asegura que funcionará. Pero tales gobiernos son raros: la mayoría de la gente quiere dirigir las cosas, pero no quiere tener parte de culpa. Esto solía llamarse el síndrome del "conductor de asiento trasero".

• One of the most thoughtless statements, parroted ad nauseam ever since rational concern for our environment exploded into an emotional syndrome, calls Man the only animal that soils its own nest. Every animal soils its nest with the products of its metabolism if unable to move away. Space technology gives us for the first time the freedom to leave our nest, at least for certain functions, in order not to soil it.

• Él había pensado que el amor como política tenía mucho sentido para aquellos que podían manejarlo, y cualquiera que pudiera manejarlo pertenecía a la vida religiosa. El resto de nosotros tenemos que luchar con un amor más ordinario, la variedad común o de jardín: el amor como una condición paralizante. El amor como síndrome.
