No more restless uncertainties, no more anxious desires, no more impatience at the place we are in for it is God who has placed us there, and who holds us in his arms. Can we be unsafe where he has placed us?
Francois Fenelon
Image
One day you do meet a man who kisses you and you can’t breathe around it and you realize you don’t need air. Oxygen is trivial. Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset. To touch the one you love. To try again.
Karen Marie Moning
Image
Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Image
For what is man without desires, without free will, and without the power of choice but a stop in an organ pipe?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end.

Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high, And wings it with sublime desires, And fits it to bespeak the Deity.
Joseph Addison
Image
A man's wealth must be determined by the relation of his desires and expenditures to his income. If he feels rich on ten dollars, and has everything else he desires, he really is rich.
John D. Rockefeller
Image
I love Dr. Evil [from Austin Powers] as a walking, talking, narcissistic manifestation of everything screwed up about human existence - his desire to take over the world, and have the world reflect his own power lust.
Jay Roach
Image
Passion, this absolute desire that can never be filled when it is driven by the absence of the other.
Jean Royer
Image
Others are Ahead of me. I am continually Challenged. My focus is Forward. The atmosphere is Affirming. I am often out of my Comfort Zone. I wake up Excited. Failure is not my Enemy. Others are Growing. People desire Change. Growth is Modeled and Expected.
John C. Maxwell
Image
We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.
H. G. Wells
Image
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, in the end, Thy will be done. All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is op
C. S. Lewis

To each individual the world will take on a different connotation of meaning-the important lies in the desire to search for an answer.
T. S. Eliot

William Law
Image
All action is generated by desire. It is the desire to live that causes us to reincarnate.

Image
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.
Ashton Eaton
Image
You can live with victory over the desires of your flesh. Habits, attitudes, desires, worries, and dissipation must yield as you exercise authority over your mind, emotions, and will.
Adrian Rogers
Image
He shines upon me and makes me to rejoice, and has atoned to me for all that was taken from me and done against me. There is no flower in all the world more blessed or more satisfied than I, for I look up to [my Love] as a weaned child and say, 'Whom have I in heaven but Thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire but Thee'.
Hannah Hurnard
Image
If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live?
