It's kind of hard get outside of your own frame of reference. To one degree or another, we all go through our breakdowns and we can recognize our lives as a path to awakening or not. We can take our breakdowns as a way to sensitize us or as an excuse to blind and dull ourselves.

Alex Grey

Yeah, there were (defensive) breakdowns but there were also variables into having those breakdowns. I think a lot of the mistakes that we made are definitely preventable, but they're a lapse of mental awareness and that happens with fatigue. I'm not trying to make excuses. This is just the reality of the situation.

Gerry Fleming

I don't mean that creative people are somehow finer, or more sensitive, and thus have finer, more sensitive nervous breakdowns - you can save that horseshit for the Sylvia Plath worshipers. It's just that creative people have creative breakdowns.

Stephen King

I've had a couple breakdowns.

Caeleb Dressel

Everything was fabulous, even our breakdowns.

Colum McCann

Psychological breakdowns are actually breakthroughs to enlightenment.

R. D. Laing

To transform breakdowns into breakthroughs is the whole function of a master.

Rajneesh

My coaches do all the breakdowns of my opponents, and I leave that up to them.

Robbie Lawler

I think I just love films where men have complete breakdowns.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

Wherever I've played, I only affect the breakdowns that are in front of me.

James Haskell

Nervous breakdowns can be highly underrated methods of spiritual transformation.

Marianne Williamson

Most of my friends are male. And I've known some of them to literally go through mental breakdowns and still not talk about how they feel. Except to me. My shoulders are sodden with the tears of men.
