Famous quotes containing the words life and/or habits:
“The remarkable thing is that it is the crowded life that is most easily remembered. A life full of turns, achievements, disappointments, surprises, and crises is a life full of landmarks. The empty life has even its few details blurred, and cannot be remembered with certainty.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Always too eager for the future, we
Pick up bad habits of expectancy.
Something is always approaching; every day
Till then we say....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
