“Eventually you will get into the habit of enjoying line as a language all of its own.”
“It's the habit that gets you.”
“You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don't see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it.”
“Things have a habit of working out, you know. Eventually.”
“You go about your business, as far away from these lines as possible, pretending they're not there. So when you eventually find yourself at one of these lines, your toe inching over, it's not only shocking and horrifying, it's banal. Because you've always been aware the lines were there, where you were trying with all your might not to see them, knowing that sooner or later you would.”
“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”
