“Quote of the Day By Someone Who’s Smarter Than I Am, But Who Has, On Occasion, Been Known To Think Along the Same Lines”

William James Quotation Number Six:

Could the young but realize they will soon become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.

Bonus Quotation:

Genius…means little more than thinking in an unhabitual way.


Considering both quotations: Maybe that’s why many people’s most original work is accomplished when they’re young.

Always posting at 4 a.m., you have become a mere waking bundle of habits, Earl.
