desire

It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.

Desire is both imitative (we like what others like) and competitive (we want to take away from others what they have). As children, we wanted to monopolize the attention of a parent, to draw it away from other siblings. This sense of rivalry... makes people compete for the attention.

This great handsomeness I took into myself later when he desired me, but I took it as one breathes air, or swallows a snowflake, or yields to the sun.

If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.

Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.

It was beautiful Eric, who desired me, who was hungry for me, in a world that often let me know it could do very well without me.

Chris: I don't know why it is, but every time I reach out for something I want, I have to pull back because other people will suffer.

Youngsters want to change world. Elders want to enjoy their works.The entrepreneur sells anything needed by both to win their desires.

Profound desire, true desire is the desire to be close to someone.

I think our last kiss was meant to be quick and chaste, but after the first touch of his lips fire leaped up and roared through my belly. My fingers yanked him close, digging into his back, and his arms crushed me to him as if wanting to meld us together. I knotted my fingers in his hair and bit down on his bottom lip, making him groan. His lips parted, and my tongue swept in to dance with his. There was nothing sweet or gentle in our last kiss; it was filled with sorrow and desperation, of the bitter knowledge that we could've had something perfect, but it just wasn't meant to be.

He was raw and sharp and rich and throbbing with life. He was sweet blood after a long hunt. How could she have mistaken Aiden's kisses for this? They had been delicious and smooth like the brief comfort of chocolate, but they had never been enough.

The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery

The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.

But Demeseus, I have only begun. Do you see what this pure feeling __ove_ can do to people? Just now, I know you wanted to take my head off. But if love is so pure, why do so many die in the name of love? It__ a poison. It enters your body and slowly makes you do impulsive things you wouldn__ normally do. People kill themselves because they want to be with their love. People kill others because they want to be with their love. And people kill their love because they want to be with their love. All in the name of love, but in the end, someone dies.

The purpose of suffering is to contain the light of your desire until you see yourself in everything.

Resistance is the subtlest form of attachment.

Science itself, no matter whether it is the search for truth or merely the need to gain control over the external world, to alleviate suffering, or to prolong life, is ultimately a matter of feeling, or rather, of desire-the desire to know or the desire to realize.
