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)

    Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
