Tendency Quotes

Honest lines on the habits and instincts that shape us.

These quotes name the tendencies people quietly carry — saying yes to a script without needing a rewrite, resisting conformity on instinct, or rushing through a place instead of slowing down to understand it. It pairs well with Being quotes.
