Oscar WildeBut then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.
About This Quote
It is not that one regrets the loss of their habits, but rather the loss of their personality that often accompanies them. Habit bonds are strong, and unlike our personalities they are not something that we have to constantly work on. They are just there. Our habits are all around us, they are part of who we are.
They define us. The person who regrets the loss of their habits is one who has lost themselves in their habits.
