Desire Quotes

I had a desire to see something besides my own shores, if only to be content to return to them someday. If I wish to live in my native land and love her, it should not be out of ignorance Picture Quote #1

An entire life spent reading would have fulfilled my every desire; I already knew that at the age of seven. The texture of the world is painful, inadequate; unalterable, or so it seems to me. Really, I believe that an entire life spent reading would have suited me best. Such a life has not been granted me Picture Quote #1

Let’s face it. We’re undone by each other. And if we’re not, we’re missing something. If this seems so clearly the case with grief, it is only because it was already the case with desire. One does not always stay intact Picture Quote #1

Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated Picture Quote #1

I have never been loved enough to gain the desire of reproducing a being in the image of my lover and I have never been given enough pleasure so that my brain has not had the leisure to seek better... I have wanted the impossible Picture Quote #1

I have triumphed over both life and death because I no longer desire to live, nor do I any longer fear to die Picture Quote #1

The tragedy of being both rational and animal seems to consist in having to choose between duty and desire rather than in making any particular choice Picture Quote #1

What is a man? What is a woman? Why are men and women attracted to each other? Why do they desire each other? Love... what is it? Picture Quote #1

Give up all hope, all illusion, all desire.. I’ve tried. I’ve tried and still I desire, I still desire not to desire and hope to be without hope and have the illusion I can be without illusions.. Give up, I say. Give up everything, including the desire to be saved Picture Quote #1

Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different... I claimed myself and remade my life. Only when I knew I belonged to myself completely did I become capable of giving myself to another, of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love, power in this body no one else owns Picture Quote #1

And still the brain continues to yearn, continues to burn, foolishly, with desire. My old man’s brain is mocked by a body that still longs to stretch in the sun and form a beautiful shape in someone else’s gaze, to lie under a blue sky and dream of helpless, selfless love, to behold itself, illuminated, in the golden light of another’s eyes Picture Quote #1

At the deepest level people are madder than they want to believe. You will find that they fear being eaten, and are alarmed by their desire to devour others Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be loved. I want to be desired. Love is safety, but desire is foul Picture Quote #1

I think you are a liar because you think you know what is true. You think you feel what is true. But you do not yet know what you do feel and what you do know. Your desire and do not take; you love and are too afraid to feel your love; you conceal your vanity and pettiness from yourself; you are afraid to look into your soul and see what you are. That iis why I think you are a liar Picture Quote #1

For what are we looking for if not to please? I do not know if the desire to attract others comes from a superabundance of vitality, possessiveness, or the hidden, unspoken need to be reassured Picture Quote #1

There needs to be a homemaker exercising some measure of skill, imagination, creativity, desire to fulfill needs and give pleasure to others in the family. How precious a thing is the human family. It it not worth some sacrifice in time, energy, safety, discomfort, work? Does anything come forth without work? Picture Quote #1

All of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs. We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves Picture Quote #1

Passing in any crowd are secret people whose hidden response to beauty is the desire to tear it into bleeding meat Picture Quote #1

There are significant relationships, of course, between wanting things and caring about them.. The notion of caring is in large part constructed out of the notion of desire. Caring about something may be, in the end, nothing more than a certain complex mode of wanting it. However, simply attributing desire to a person does not in itself convey that the person cares about the object he desires Picture Quote #1

There was a redemption of some kind, he believed, in such complete fulfillment of a desire so long deferred Picture Quote #1

Writing is one of the most ancient forms of prayer. To write is to believe communication is possible that other people are good, that you can awaken their generosity and their desire to do better Picture Quote #1

So perhaps the greatest worry of all was that one day you would realize that all the worries of your life amounted to one thing: the desire to just stop worrying Picture Quote #1

It’s true this world our breathing laboured inspires nothing more than obvious disgust a desire to flee without our share and no longer read the headlines we long to return to our ancestral home where our forebears once lived under an angel’s wing we long to find that strange morality which sanctified life to the end we crave something like loyalty like the embrace of mild addictions something that transcends yet contains life we cannot live far from eternity Picture Quote #1

The technique of a great seducer requires a facility and an indifference in passing from one object of affection to another which I could never have; however that may be, my loves have left me more often than I have left them, for I have never been able to understand how one could have enough of any beloved. The desire to count up exactly the riches which each new love brings us, and to see it change, and perhaps watch it grow old, accords ill with multiplicity of conquests Picture Quote #1

Do you know what it is to be a man violently in love? To live for a woman’s smiles and laughter, to hunger for her touch until life itself seems impossible without it, to desire her as you desire to breathe? Picture Quote #1

Should the king in exile pretend he is happy there? Should he not seek his own country? His miseries are his ally; they urge him on. Let them grow, if need be. But do not forsake the secret of life; do not despise those kingly desires. We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it Picture Quote #1

I cannot rest, I must draw, however poor the result, and when I have a bad time come over me it is a stronger desire than ever Picture Quote #1

I wondered if that’s what aging felt like. That desire and reality were dueling until the day you die, that nobody every got to a place of peace. I had always wanted to get old so I didn’t have to care anymore, but I began to think that it would be best just to skip the getting older part and just die Picture Quote #1

And knowing that the only alternative to your grief is the nothingness that’s fast approaching, you try to embrace your own sorrow, to be open and empty and let it all pass through you. This is the key, you have learned – to relinquish control, to relinquish the desire for control. Even in this late drama, to try to control is to go mad. And so you do your best to let it all go Picture Quote #1

Once desire was turned on, combustion gave it a life of its own. Once it was turned on it became a raging wildfire, uncontrollable and uncontainable, the type of conflagration that had to be allowed to burn itself out Picture Quote #1
