A pathological finagler.
Director of the Budget David Stockman is:
Our country is pathologically violent.
I am such a notorious hermit - almost pathological. And, I'm not a hoarder. But that's just a symptom of things that I do feel.
By all but the pathologically romantic, it is now recognized that this is not the age of the small man.
It does not seem possible to think of oneself as normal without thinking that some other kind of person is pathological.
I've gone to great lengths not to be a guru. I think the notion of guruhood is utterly pathological, and I couldn't live that way. I am just a person.
I have a deep and pathological obsession with trees and plants.
The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
We never get sick of each other. That's how sick we are.
