Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.

Summary

This quote suggests that habits are necessary to support and maintain the structure of human life. It implies that without habits, life would lack stability and structure, much like a skeleton provides support to the body. Just as a rigid skeleton keeps the body upright, habits lend stability to our daily routines and help us navigate through life more smoothly. It emphasizes the importance of habits in upholding the framework of our existence.

The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky.
