Howard Moss Quotes
Habit Enables Us To Cling To The Familiar, To The Self We Think We Know With A Persistence Almost Irresistible. An Anodyne For The Terror Of The Unknown, It Effectively Keeps Us From Knowing, And Is Fatal In Itself. Habit Is A Fiction The Organism Requires To Dim Perception. It Screens Us From The World, And From The True World Of The Self. Habit - No Matter How Intense The Suffering It Causes - Is The Last Thing The Personality Will Give Up. It Is Arming Itself Against Danger. The Weapons May Be More Painful To Use Than The Pain They Seek To Deflect. No Matter. Habit Allows Us To Live - By Which Proust Means It Allows Us To Exist While It Simultaneously Compels Us To Miss Life.
