“The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.”

“A pure heart does not demean the spirit of an individual, it, instead, compels the individual to examine his spirit.”

“Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.”

“A writer's style reveals something of his spirit, his habits, his capacites, his bias...it is the Self escaping into the open.”

“Nationalism is a form of cultural self-centeredness, and as a collective thought-form, can only exist because the dominant in-group is itself comprised of self-centered and narcissistic individuals.”

“knowing the determinants of health habits is important because once bad habits are ingrained, they are very difficult to change.”
