Desire Quotes

To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart Picture Quote #1

No more fatuous chimera has ever infested the brain than that you can control opinions by law or direct belief by statute, and no more pernicious sentiment ever tormented the heart than the barbarous desire to do so. The field of inquiry should remain open, and the right of debate must be regarded as a sacred right Picture Quote #1

The smell of factory farms... many notice these places only when the odours reach their homes, affecting their own quality of life. We create these animals for our profit and pleasure, playing with their genes, violating their dignity as living creatures, forcing them to lie and live in their own urine and excrement, turning pens into penitentiaries and frustrating their every desire except what is needed to keep them breathing and breeding. And then we complain about the smell Picture Quote #1

What I build upon I shall be told is a folly that wise men are not guilty of: I own it; but whilst it proceeds from a real passion inherent in our nature, it is sufficient to demonstrate that we are born with a repugnancy to the killing, and consequently the eating of animals; for it is impossible that a natural appetite should ever prompt us to act, or desire others to do, what we have an aversion to, be it as foolish as it will Picture Quote #1

The acme of freedom from wealth is to desire to be possessionless even as others desire to possess Picture Quote #1

Horizontality is a desire to give up, to sleep. Verticality is an attempt to escape. Hanging and floating are states of ambivalence Picture Quote #1

Our feelings are energy, so when you find the energy you want you can attach it to a desire Picture Quote #1

You can’t love by desiring an extremely vague desire of a very vague moon Picture Quote #1

The desire definitely comes from within. There are only a few people who make it to this level and those are the ones who have that innate desire Picture Quote #1

I have this desire to have this immaculate form of love that really doesn’t exist, so my obsession goes on through life and I never find it and I end up miserable. But it makes me a better writer Picture Quote #1

My granddad wanted to become a sign painter and designer, but was stopped; my dad would have had a real talent for language, but was stopped. When I expressed a desire to become a graphic designer, I was not stopped Picture Quote #1

The churches weren’t going to accept me looking like a street person with long hair and faded jeans. They did not like the music I was recording. And I had no desire to preach the gospel to the converted Picture Quote #1

If you’re not someone who has a natural and effortless love for yourself, it’s hard to let go of your desire to please other people, and that’s really not an ingredient for a happy life Picture Quote #1

Fear is an underrated emotion. And that’s why I think it’s very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they’re two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality Picture Quote #1

Because of my life experiences, I understand that I have an opportunity to help other women. I have the desire and the ability Picture Quote #1

Often men’s impulses to coerce and degrade women seem to express not a confident assumption of dominance but a desire to retaliate for feelings of rejection, humiliation, and impotence: as many men see it, they need women sexually more than women need them, an intolerable balance of power Picture Quote #1

I came to mistrust my desire to explode the picture and supercharge it in some way… what is more important is a feeling of strength in reserve – tension beneath calm Picture Quote #1

Though some will try to deny it, I believe that every woman, at some time in her life, has had or will have the desire to pose nude Picture Quote #1

When you would grab that last hole you could literally feel all of the hope, desire and stress drop off of you Picture Quote #1

A nation has a soul, a spiritual principle. One is in the past, the other in the present. One is the possession of a rich legacy of memories; the other is the desire to live together and to value the common heritage Picture Quote #1

The stronger and more intense my desire becomes to capture and record that which is unsayable, the more tightly my mouth stays shut Picture Quote #1

To get rich, one must have but a single idea, one fixed, hard, immutable thought: the desire to make a heap of gold. And in order to increase this heap of gold, one must be inflexible, a usurer, thief, extortionist, and murderer! And one must especially mistreat the small and the weak! And when this mountain of gold has been amassed, one can climb up on it, and from up on the summit, a smile on one’s lips, one can contemplate the valley of poor wretches that one has created Picture Quote #1

There are many objects of desire, and therefore many desires. Some are born with us, hunger, yearning, and pride of place, and some are the foolishness of the world, such as the desire to eat off silver plates. Desire is a wild horse to be tamed. Virtue is a habit long continued. The taming of desire is like the training of the athlete. Discipline is not the restraint but the use of energy... When I forbid myself what I may have, no person is going to tempt me with what is truly forbidden Picture Quote #1

Taking friendships for granted is one of the surest ways of ending them. Unless nourished, they tend to wither and die. Unless we earnestly desire its continuance we should never start a friendship any more than we would a love affair Picture Quote #1

You can’t ever get everything you want. It is impossible. Luckily, there is another option: You can learn to control your mind, to step outside of the endless cycle of desire and aversion Picture Quote #1

Each person must discover his own philosophy of life, and it is not fair or right to impose our codes upon others. It is also our responsibility, however, to share one with another such experiences as may have common value. We desire, therefore, not to convert or convince, but to invite such a sharing with the sincere hope that some mutual good will be accomplished Picture Quote #1

For as long as I am alive, I will not rest in my desire to lead my people out of an abyss of corruption and poverty Picture Quote #1

When you step away from doing something that you have always been doing and then you return to it, you have a different perspective. You get that desire and the will to strike at everything Picture Quote #1

Some of us must wait for the best human gifts until we come to heavenly places. Our natural desire for musical utterance is perhaps a prophecy that in a perfect world we shall all know how to sing Picture Quote #1

You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won’t sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire Picture Quote #1
