习惯是第二天性,其力量并不在天性之下。
Habit is a second nature, and no less powerful.
我习惯上觉得缺少点什么,我就觉得缺少什么。
我宁愿丧失生命,也不愿脱离长期过惯了的生活环境。
What my habit lacks, I hold that I lack.
And I would almost as soon be deprived of life
as have it reduced and cut down very far from the state
in which I have lived it for so long.
蒙田:《散文集》I,23 Montaigne, Essays, 111, 10, Of Husbanding Your Will
