in Quotes & Aphorisms (Habit)
Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.

    in Quotes & Aphorisms (Habit)
    Habit is the most infamous of ilnesses, because it makes us accept any accident, any pain, any death.
    For habit we live next to odious people, you learn to carry the chains and to be subjected to injustice, to suffer, you resign to pain, to solitude, to all. Habit is the most merciless of poisons because it seeps in slowly, silently and it grows slowly fostering on our unawareness, and when we discover we have it on us every move is conditioned, no medicine exists than can heal us.
