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.
Art Buchwald
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Earl Wilson
A quick glance at the American left reveals a movement in the midst of a nervous breakdown, displaying behavior that goes beyond inconsistency into the realm of bipolar moods and multiple personality disorders.
Michael Medved
And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority.
Hu Shih
Barry and I were in the middle of building a house, and I was in the midst of having a nervous breakdown, because that's what you do when you build a house.
Cynthia Weil
Coaching in the NBA is not easy. It's like a nervous breakdown with a paycheck.
Pat Williams
Even institutions of State, such as the judiciary, were seriously weakened, to the extent that the citizenry justifiably feared a breakdown in law and order. The business community was hit by a slump in sales and confidence, leading to reduced earnings and loss of jobs.
Kamisese Mara
For the parents of a Little Leaguer, a baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown into innings.
Earl Wilson
I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.
Kate Beckinsale
I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.
Charles Evans Hughes
I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, "Poor thing." I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better.
Elijah Wood
I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch.
Emma Thompson
I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.

I love Mariah Carey. Remember the breakdown? I loved the breakdown.
Kathy Griffin
I was certainly open for something being on the edge of a nervous breakdown, perplexed by my own sexuality. I was gay.
Lionel Blue
I was just absolutely exhausted. The media said I've been treated for a nervous breakdown. All that stuff I just took as people taking the opportunity when you're down to give you a kick.
John Hewson
I'm taking one thing at a time. With the children and launching my solo career it would drive me to a nervous breakdown if I tried to organise a wedding on top of that.
Natasha Hamilton
I've read a couple of things that I was sort of close to having a nervous breakdown. But I don't think I was. I was very, very tired. It was a really difficult time.
Kate Bush
Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.
R. D. Laing
My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it.That's how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.
