Famous quotes containing the words life and/or habits:
“Vacations prove that a life of pleasure is overrated.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
