Desire Quotes

True, I used to see a lot of hope. I saw men tear down the veils behind which the truth had been hidden. But then the same men, when they have power in their hands at last, began to find the veils useful. They made many more. Life has not changed. Only some people have been growing, becoming different, that is all. After a youth spent fighting the white man, why should not the president discover as he grows older that his real desire has been to be like the white governor himself, to live above all the blackness in the big old slave castle? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes our thoughts turn back toward a corner in a forest, or the end of a bank, or an orchard powdered with flowers, seen but a single time on some happy day, yet remaining in our hearts and leaving in soul and body an unappeased desire which is not to be forgotten, a feeling that we have just rubbed elbows with happiness Picture Quote #1

It is our own pain, and our own desire to be free of it, that alerts us to the suffering of the world. It is our personal discovery that pain can be acknowledged, even held lovingly, that enables us to look at the pain around us unflinchingly and feel compassion being born in us. We need to start with ourselves Picture Quote #1

She wonders if this is what people call falling in love, the desire to be with someone for every minute of the rest of her life so strong that sometimes she is frightened of herself Picture Quote #1

If I waited to be in the mood to write, I’d barely have a chapbook of material to my name. Who would ever be in the mood to write? Do marathon runners get in the mood to run? Do teachers wake up with the urge to lecture? I don’t know, but I doubt it. My guess is that it’s the very act that is generative. The doing of the thing that makes possible the desire for it Picture Quote #1

As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember Picture Quote #1

I run; I am a coward at heart. I swear, when I smell violence or aggression the coward comes out in me. I have no desire to fight anybody except myself Picture Quote #1

My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He’d play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don’t see him, which is unfortunate. But I don’t have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don’t want to know Picture Quote #1

I still have the desire to succeed, and I’ve always felt success is measured by what you’ve done in the win column, not top 10s Picture Quote #1

I’m producing more, but I think to direct, one has to have a burning desire, and that’s not me. I’d rather do something else Picture Quote #1

For me, I never, never, from the moment I started acting, had a desire to be famous Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there’s just been an innate desire to feel that connection Picture Quote #1

Mandatory auditor rotation is designed to address a potential conflict of interest between a public company and its auditor. Because an auditor is hired and paid by the public company it audits, the auditor’s desire to maintain a good relationship with its client could conflict with its duty to rigorously question the client’s financial statements Picture Quote #1

Hollywood can be brutal, inhuman, the opposite of what the theatre is, and I had little desire to be part of it Picture Quote #1

I see history as really cyclical in terms of the intense idealism, and the desire to create a better life outside of societal norms Picture Quote #1

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people’s Picture Quote #1

When I was fresh out of law school, I had a burning desire to do something important, to have an impact in some way, but I didn’t know what it was Picture Quote #1

I’m on a higher plane with brain with a flame, feel the fire, desire the same Picture Quote #1

His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world, they had earned him the highest acclaim. And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love’s fire, cause it’s cold on the dark side of fame Picture Quote #1

I fundamentally believe that people have a genuine desire to be positively engaged in the world around them Picture Quote #1

Especially for me, growing up in such a small town in the middle of nowhere, the desire to be away was incredible. I wanted to see new lands, meet new people from the city, and meet people that were in much less fortunate situations than I was, so that I could be more appreciative of my present. At least I had food on the table Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you’ll see me be quieter just so that people will listen Picture Quote #1

I have no want or desire to solo. I’d rather create melodies and accompanying parts Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had any desire to be good. I don’t like goodness particularly Picture Quote #1

You can’t spend your life beating yourself up for something that happened yesterday. You die if you don’t follow your desire Picture Quote #1

Desires collide; the wish to eat bumping up against the wish to be thin, the desire to indulge conflicting with the injunction to restrain. Small wonder food makes a woman nervous Picture Quote #1

She chased after her dream with much desire, but when she got to close to her expectations, well the dream burned up like paper in fire Picture Quote #1

Lust is weak desire. A woman without a good head on her shoulders is nothing but a piece of meat Picture Quote #1

Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it’s all about the present moment Picture Quote #1

The will to originality is not the will to be peculiar and unlike anybody else; it means the desire to derive one’s consciousness from its primary source Picture Quote #1
