Famous quotes containing the word habits:
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
