― Cheryl Diamond, Nowhere Girl: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood

“Build your scaffolding again, but while you’re conscious. Use the bricks that you’ve still got, in spite of the pandemic. Make coffee in the morning. Meditate. Watch Schitt’s Creek. Have a glass of wine at dinner. FaceTime the friends you can’t see in person. Whatever habits you used to have, stack them up and give yourself structure. I promise. You won’t feel as unsettled.”
― Jodi Picoult, Wish You Were Here

“Movies, travel, restaurant etc are pleasure for you because they help you escape your routine life. Imagine the pain of people who have so much money that all this has become routine and unexciting for them. Addiction is the only thing left for them to escape the routine... addiction to money, sex, political power and substances .”
― Shunya

― StanisÅ‚aw Lem, Solaris

“What did that word mean to me? Earth? I thought of the great bustling cities, where I would wander and lose myself, and I thought of them as I had thought of the ocean on the second or third night, when I had wanted to throw myself upon the dark waves. I shall immerse myself among men. I shall be silent and attentive, an appreciative companion. There will be many acquaintances, friends, women--and perhaps even a wife. For a while, I shall have to make a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand and perform the thousands of little gestures which constitute life on Earth, and then those gestures will become reflexes again. I shall find new interests and occupations; and I shall not give myself completely to them, as I shall never again give myself completely to anything or anybody.”
― StanisÅ‚aw Lem, Solaris

“I expected it would be exciting;  I expected that the freedom from routine was somehow greater than the freedom to determine your own routine. I wanted to get up in the morning and not know exactly what I was going to do that day. But now that I don't, it's terrifying.”
― Sara Baume, Spill Simmer Falter Wither

“I spend my life watching the sun come and go as part of my non-routine routine.”
― Richie Norton

“Even if you knew your routine like the back of your hand, a checklist was still important.”
― Maureen Johnson, The Box in the Woods

“Sleep is divine but by no means stable; the slightest shock makes it volatile. A friend to habit, it is kept night after night in tis appointed place by habit, more steadfast than itself, protected from any possible disturbance; but if it is displaced, if it is no longer subjugated, it melts away like a vapour. It is like youth and love, never to be recaptured.”
― Marcel Proust, The Captive / The Fugitive

“If we can just stick with new routines long enough to start cranking out the happy juice (serotonin) or find a way to make the experience intrinsically pleasurable (dopamine), we’ve got a much better chance of it becoming a long-term habit.”
― Simon Marshall, The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion

― Graham Greene, In Search of a Character

“Sabe cuál es mi enfermedad? La ³Ü³Ù´Ç±èí²¹. Sabe cuál es la suya? La rutina. La ³Ü³Ù´Ç±èí²¹ es el porvenir que se esfuerza en nacer. La rutina es el pasado que se obstina en seguir".”
― Victor Hugo

“Too often, we think that godliness means careening around without any real direction, shooting off like a space shuttle with a deficient navigating system. Our lives follow whatever paths the Lord desires, but let’s remember that godliness is closely related to routine, commitment, hard work, and tireless pursuit. The Bible, as we will see, teaches us to invest our lives in certain core institutions and areas. Many of us have missed this; we will profit from recovering this idea.”
― Owen Strachan

“Take note of Who’s Who and What’s What in your life. The people, the habits, the diet, the routinesâ€� Are they driving you forward or crazy?”
― Steve Maraboli

“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in â€� or out â€� and the windows of our perception are cleansed, as William Blake said. The same thing can happen when we’re around young children or adults who have unlearned those habits of shutting the world out.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

“In the shapeliness of a life, habit plays its sovereign role.”
― Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings

“Rituals give us clear rules and objectives, which helps us enter a state of flow. When we have only a big goal in front of us, we might feel lost or overwhelmed by it; rituals helps us by giving us the process, the substeps, on the path to achieving a goal”
― Hector Garcia Puigcerver, Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life / The Little Book of Lykke / Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living

“I am extremely uncomfortable with routine.”
― Scarlet Jei Saoirse, Scarlosophy: Thinking Out Loud

“Prior to my arrival, when I had applied for and then was offered the position, the Court had existed in my mind as a near medieval institution, in the manner of the Binnenhof, the Parliament complex only a couple miles away in the center of the city. Even after I arrived and for the first month of my employment, I had been startled every time I encountered the building. I knew very well that the Court was a recent invention, having been founded only a decade earlier, but the modern architecture still seemed incongruous, perhaps even lacking the authority I had expected.
Six months later, it was merely the place of my employment: everything grows normal after a time.”
― Katie Kitamura, Intimacies

“Concentrating on the little things hidden in your daily routines and actions that you might otherwise take for granted. These positive droplets create a micro-squirt of dopamine (pleasure) and serotonin (happiness).”
― Simon Marshall, The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion

“It's true that novelty and challenge bring happiness...but routine can also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing in the same way every day...take[s] on a certain beauty and provide[s] a kind of invisible architecture...”
― Gretchen Rubin, Happier at Home: Kiss More, Jump More, Abandon a Project, Read Samuel Johnson, and My Other Experiments in the Practice of Everyday Life

“You know you are achieving success with your treatments when frequent trips to doctors wane into occasional annual visits for routine check ups.”
― Steven Magee, Hypoxia, Mental Illness & Chronic Fatigue

“We have absolutely no intention of letting ourselves be intimidated by your beastly routine ever again. Although freedom has come to us somewhat late in life, we have no intention of throwing it away again. Many of us have passed our lives with domineering and peevish husbands. When we were finally delivered of these, we were chivvied around by our sons and daughters who not only no longer loved us but considered us a burden and objects of ridicule and shame. Do you imagine in your wildest dreams that now we have tasted freedom we are going to let ourselves be pushed around once more by you and your leering mate?”
― Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet
