Habits Quotes

|
“HABIT” is an established custom. It is a pattern of behavior acquired through frequent repetition. A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition is often termed as Habit. It is an aesthetic equivalent of that which is known in physics as "entropy"; the basic category in aesthetics.
"Aesthetic “means” experience able and habit is anesthesia: we do not perceive what we are accustomed to. Accordingly, habit as the basic category of aesthetics is a measure of experience, of perception, and of being perceived: the more unusual, the more perceptible (shocking), and the older, the less experience able. |

These habits can be sometimes related to the term Manner as well i.e. the kind of attitude we carry with our personality.
