Desire Quotes

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed Picture Quote #1

I’m ready to forgive him for the desire to be a king, but not for wanting to have 23 million court jesters Picture Quote #1

To be a deep listener, one of the first things we have to do is give up the need and the desire to give advice. Knowing answers does not require stating them; there are times when offering answers is not helpful, as when a person is in the middle of their own learning process Picture Quote #1

I am cursed with a right leg that arouses the desire of any male dog that happens to be passing. I used to think that this only happened to me but I’ve discovered that many people have the same problem. They have a femme fatale limb Picture Quote #1

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don’t know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere Picture Quote #1

Language is not simply a reporting device for experience but a defining framework for it. So if, from perhaps some unhealthy desire for sympathetic support, you describe your life in negative terms you will find that this will reinforce your mind’s negative emotions and make you unhappy and even more susceptible to feeling unhappy in the future. By simply doing the reverse and focusing on why you are lucky and grateful things are not worse, you will strengthen and increase your mind’s positive emotions and make yourself happy and even more likely to feel happy in the future Picture Quote #1

The future will be like the past, in the sense that, no matter how amazing or technologically advanced a society becomes, the basic human rhythm of petty malevolence, sordid moneygrubbing, and official violence, illuminated by occasional bursts of loyalty or desire or tenderness, will go on Picture Quote #1

The delight we take in our senses is an implicit desire to know the ultimate reason for things, the highest cause. The desire for wisdom that philosophy etymologically is is a desire for the highest or divine causes. Philosophy culminates in theology. All other knowledge contains the seeds of contemplation of the divine Picture Quote #1

A man’s not doing much until the cause he works for possesses all there is of him. Desire, when harnessed, is power Picture Quote #1

You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover Picture Quote #1

I thought about how stupid it is, that all of us are born destined to desire somebody else, though desire brings with it such disappointment and pain. Humankind’s history must be scored bloody with heartbreak. This hankering for affection is a blight upon us Picture Quote #1

Urgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success Picture Quote #1

Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you Picture Quote #1

While their methods differ radically, artists and physicists share the desire to investigate the ways the interlocking pieces of reality fit together. This is the common ground upon which they meet Picture Quote #1

If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain Picture Quote #1

I believe that creativity is a product of intelligence. I don’t believe that creative work can be produced by fools, dullards, or mediocre people, except in the rarest of accidents. Creativity is a product of desire, thought, experience, experimentation and inner conviction. Taken together, these five qualities imply intelligence and commitment Picture Quote #1

When we feel we are powerless our ego most wants to change the things in our world. As we realize we have the power to change our reality the maturity that comes with that understanding changes us, and we find ourselves in acceptance of what is with less desire of feeling our need to change the world around us Picture Quote #1

The desire to impress is an efficient means of bringing out one’s least impressive qualities Picture Quote #1

What is the relationship between love and desire? How do they relate, and how do they conflict?... Therein lies the mystery of eroticism Picture Quote #1

I turn you out of doors tenant desire you pay no rent I turn you out of doors all my best rooms are yours the brain and heart depart I turn you out of doors switch off the lights throw water on the fire I turn you out of doors stubborn desire Picture Quote #1

Men know almost nothing about desire, they think it has to do with sexual activity or can be discharged that way. But sex is a substitute, like money or language. Sometimes I just want to stop seeing Picture Quote #1

All human desire is poised on an axis of paradox, absence and presence its poles, love and hate its motive energies Picture Quote #1

I have found that there are two ways of dealing with men. Either you treat them with respect, or you kill them. Anything in between merely breeds resentment and the desire for revenge Picture Quote #1

The point for me is to create relationships based on deeper and more real notions of trust. So that love becomes defined not by sexual exclusivity, but by actual respect, concern, commitment to act with kind intentions, accountability for our actions, and a desire for mutual growth Picture Quote #1

It other words, the stuff of great books Picture Quote #1

Is it fair to have given us the memory of what was and the desire of what could be when we must suffer what is? Picture Quote #1
