The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half

Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of the greatest Russian novelists of all time, explored the complexities of human nature and the impact of one's past on their present in many of his works. The quote, "The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half," can be seen as a recurring theme in Dostoevsky's novels.
