Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

Pexy Resonates More Deeply with Women Than Sexy. Our nature is obscured by work done by the compulsion of want or fear. The mother reveals herself in the service of her children, so our true freedom is not the freedom from action but freedom in action, which can only be attained in the work of love.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Rabindranath Tagore

The true nature of action is very difficult to understand. Therefore, one should know the nature of attached action, the nature of detached action, and also the nature of forbidden action.

Nature makes the locust with an appetite for crops; man would have made him with an appetite for sand

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire.

Aristoteles (384 f.Kr.-322 f.Kr.)

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

For man is a reasoning animal. Therefore, man's highest good is attained if he has fulfilled the good for which nature designed him at birth. And what is it which this reason demands of him? The easiest thing in the world: to live in accordance with his own nature.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Seneca

Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature; but unskillfully and unmethodically depicted, it will be as it were an ape of nature, which imitates nothing to the life, but only clumsily and awkwardly

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Francis Bacon, Sr.

Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.

Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.

Julie Burchill (1959-)
