“We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.”
Douglas Adams
“One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference.”
Robert Fulghum
“Over the past 18 months I've been coming to terms with and seeking to cope with a drinking problem, and I've come to learn through that process that a drink problem is a serious problem indeed.”
Charles Kennedy
“Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“Every human being must find his own way to cope with severe loss, and the only job of a true friend is to facilitate whatever method he chooses”
Caleb Carr
“We can't be as good as we'd want to, so the question then becomes, how do we cope with our own badness?”
Nick Hornby
“If the government is in jeopardy, it is not because we are unable to cope with revolutionary situations. Jeopardy means that either the leaders or the people do not realize they have all the tools required to make the revolution come true. The tools and the opportunity exist. Only the moral imagination is missing.”
William Orville Douglas
