Famous quotes containing the word habit:

    “The hardest habit of all to break
    Is the terrible habit of happiness.”
    —Theodosia Garrison (1874–1944)

    “Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form.”
    —André Maurois (1885–1967)

    “Anyone with a real taste for solitude who indulges that taste encounters the dangers of any other drug-taker. The habit grows. You become an addict.... Absorbed in the visions of solitude, human beings are only interruptions. What voice can equal the voices of solitude? What sights equal the movement of a single day’s tide of light across the floor boards of one room? What drama be as continuously absorbing as the interior one?”
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
