Reality is here and now, everywhere, gleaming through every reflection that meets the eye … Everybody is a neurotic, down to the last man and woman. The healer, or the analyst, if you like, is only a super-neurotic… .To be cured we must rise from our graves and throw off the cerements of the dead. Nobody can do it for another—it is a private affair which is best done collectively.

Henry Miller, quoted in the Introduction to D&G’s Anti-Oedipus
