Then I have tea and turn the new sentence around. Then I read the two sentences over and turn them both around. Then I lie down on my sofa and think.

...today he felt life, youth, people slipping away from him, without being able to hold on to any of them, left with the blind hope that this obscure force that for so many years had raised him above the daily routine, nourished him unstintingly, and been equal to the most difficult circumstances--that, as it had with endless generosity given him reason to live, it would also give him reason to grow old and die without rebellion. Albert Camus
One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine.. Joel Osteen
Caskie Stinnett quote: "I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine."
I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine. Caskie Stinnett
I began to realize how simple life could be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours, a fixed salary, and very little original thinking to do. Roald Dahl
In sharp contrast to the idea that this stage of life is enviable, we hear high levels of anxiety about getting old, anxieties about health, mobility, access to facilities, simple routine care and attention. Rowan D. Williams
Vivienne Westwood quote: "I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not..."
I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life. Vivienne Westwood
For pragmatic reasons, I love the routine. I love the structure of it. I love knowing that my days are free. I know where I'm going at night. I know my life is kind of orderly. I just like that better. Andrea Martin
Some men like a dull life - they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it - it's often catching. Hedy Lamarr
I don't think I'd ever get thin, but I don't see why I should necessarily think that I couldn't... You can't live your life for your routines. Alexei Sayle
