Nasty Habits

Famous quotes containing the words nasty and/or habits:

    “And what was too nasty to feed a dog—that is precisely what you threw down before your god. Did he perhaps die of what you fed 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)
