wanting

why couldn't someone , somewhere , want her for her ?

Contentment comes from wanting what we need, not needing what we want.

It wasn__ as if she__ thought it through or anything, how what a person wanted wasn__ always what they needed, and what a person needed might be the last thing they could ever want.

If you want more from life _ start by counting your blessings instead of counting your losses, deficits and wants.

We get so beat down by what we need, sometimes we forget how to want.

I do not always know what I want, but I do know what I don't want.

Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it__ going to kill us.

Everyone says that hope is the feeling that something desirable is likely to happen which gives people the expectation that something good would occur. But the thing is, people hope for something. They only HOPE for that certain thing. For what is that hope that people say if they wouldn't take action to make that hope happened. It's just like wanting something or someone but not doing anything to have them.

Frogs, ducks, rhinos, octopuses _ whatever you desire. The world will be built new for you every morning. If you stay here, you can have whatever you want._ Coraline sighed. __ou really don__ understand, do you?_ she said. __ don__ want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted? Just like that, and it didn__ mean anything. What then?

You think it can't get worse than wanting someone and not having them, but it can. You can want someone, have them, and want them more. Still. Always. You can never get enough.

Wanting and wishing are very different

The subjects range from the pastoral (sniffing of the butt of a melon to tell if it's ripe. and almost romantically lush descriptions of lightening storms sweeping across fields on summer nights) to elaborations on the value of man's having a life of his own, apart from whatever life he has with his family, a private life that no one knows anything about, "a place he can be himself without concern of disappointment or rejection".

Once you want something, everything changes. Now I want everything. I feel it so much that I am water, a river of want,pooled in the shape of a girl.

From that first moment of doubt, there was no peace for her; from the time she first imagined leaving her forest, she could not stand in one place without wanting to be somewhere else. She trotted up and down beside her pool, restless and unhappy. Unicorns are not meant to make choices. She said no, and yes, and no again, day and night, and for the first time she began to feel the minutes crawling over her like worms.

As Colin was starting to drift into the twilight he could feel blood pouring out of his head

Some of you may feel that if you don't do something soon to change your life, you will be left by the roadside, alone, homeless and in despair. But is the despair not there as you reach and grapple to create or manifest your desires through your own effort and will? What happens if or when those things appear in your life? Joy? Peace? Or a temporary sense of relief? What if it is relief from the wanting you have been craving for so long, not the outcome, but the relief from the constant wanting.

Whatever you want, at any moment, someone else is getting it. Whatever you have, someone else is longing for.

Surviving is about need. Living is about want.
