For in truth, Habit is a violent and treacherous schoolteacher. Gradually and
stealthily she slides her authorative foot into us; then, having by this gentle
and humble beginning planted it firmly within us, helped by time she later
discloses an angry tyrannous countenance, against which we are no longer allowed
even to lift up our eyes. At every turn we find habit infringing the rules of
Nature.
