Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the hand of a despot.

Onstage, you can't have things dragging or hanging. It has to be the tailored, custom-made (version) of your comfort zone. I never want to be too pretty.

We do everything by custom, even believe by it; our very axioms, let us boast of free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such beliefs as we have never heard questioned.

There is no tyrant like custom, and no freedom where its edicts are not resisted.
