old-habits

When someone puts an end to something, it doesn't mean that he gave up, it means that thing is not taking him anywhere.

When i was a child, i liked tasting any candy i happened to see, but as i grew older, i realized those are a great meal to the worms in my innards. Will you shun old habits or nay? That's the question.

I treat my thoughts like an old person treats their valuables: I cannot for the life of me proceed to throwing them out.

I had begun to feel that life was a repetition of the same thing; that there was nothing new either in me or in him; and that, on the contrary, we kept going back as it were on what was old.
