“Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.”
“Nothing is so safe as habit, even when habit is faked.”
“I have no desire whatever to reform myself. My only desire is to reform people who try to reform me. And I believe that the only way to reform people is to kill 'em.”
“Some rules are nothing but old habits that people are afraid to change.”
“The people will take a certain amount of reform, then they want a rest. But the reforms stay.”
“But if they loved each other so much, couldn’t they talk it out?” Toby gave an exasperated laugh. “You get into habits. Ways of being with certain people.”
