Quote from ‘Logic and Spiritualism [R]’

Term: 
Person
Quote: 

Habit tends to coordinate feelings, which are thus brought into the order of Time, into the order of Space. Feelings coordinated in a certain way, to a certain degree, constitute a person; on their being dissociated (as habits do sometimes get broken up), the personality disappears.
