Mignon McLaughlin (June 6, 1913 – December 20, 1983) was an American journalist and author. In the 1950s, she began publishing aphorisms that were later collected in three books, entitled, ''The Neurotic’s Notebook'', ''The Second Neurotic’s Notebook'' and ''The Complete Neurotic’s Notebook''. She is known for a number of quotes, among them: *"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." *"Anything you lose automatically doubles in value." *"Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers." Mignon McLaughlin was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and grew up in New York City, where her mother, Joyce Neuhaus, was a prominent lawyer. She graduated from Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1933 and returned to New York, where she embarked on a career as a journalist and a writer of short stories for Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and other women's magazines. She worked for Vogue magazine in the 1940s, and was Copy Editor and Managing Editor of Glamour magazine in the 1960s and early 1970s. She retired to Florida in 1973. She died in Coral Gables, Florida on December 20, 1983. With her husband Robert McLaughlin—an editor at ''TIME'' magazine—she wrote the play ''Gayden'', which had a limited run on Broadway during the 1949 season. ==External links== *(Mignon McLaughlin ), profile at The Neglected Books Page 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mignon McLaughlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
