Nasty Habits

Famous quotes containing the words nasty and/or habits:

    Usually he has no thoughts—but as an exception to this rule sometimes nasty thoughts occur to him.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
    June Jordan (b. 1939)
