quotations about habit
Habit is a cruel jailer
Yet how well-beloved.
NELLIE SEELYE EVANS
"Habit"
I hate repetition. Even when I am home and have to buy milk, I go a different way each time to avoid having a habit of anything. Habits are really bad. So to me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen.
MARINA ABRAMOVIC

It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it.
JOHN STEINBECK
East of Eden
Habit can overcome anything but instinct, and can greatly modify even that.
HORACE MANN

As our acts vary, our habits will follow in their course.
ARISTOTLE
Nicomachean Ethics
Whatsoever stirs the stagnant currents, setting these flowing in wholesome directions, promotes brisk spirits and productive thinking. The less of routine, the more of life.
AMOS BRONSON ALCOTT
Table Talk
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
