Compulsion Quotes

Words on the urges we can't quite explain.

This collection of compulsion quotes looks at the pull people describe feeling toward habits, food, and fate, and how quickly an urge can turn into something bigger than a passing whim. Some speakers frame compulsion as chemical, others as something closer to character itself.

Quotes by Christoph Martin Wieland

Quotes by Bennett Miller
