Context: Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.
“I won’t kiss you. It might get to be a habit and I can’t get rid of habits.”

“Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.”
As quoted in Right Time, Right Place, Right Move, Right Now! (1992) by Perry W. Buffington, Section I : Life
“We first make our habits, then our habits make us.”
“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”
