You perhaps now know that desire reduces us to pulp.
Georges Bataille

Fire and Water are archetypes, the split sides of consciousness one aware, the other, not. The two parts of us that desire synthesis, yet resist it: the self and the shadow. But they are also the element of chance, of the random roll of dice.
Chris Abani

The diligent scholar is he that loves himself, and desires to have reason to applaud and love himself.
William Godwin
Image
The more we pray, the more we shall want to pray. The more we pray, the more we can pray. The more we pray, the more we shall pray. He who prays little will pray less, but he who prays much will pray more. And he who prays more, will desire to pray more abundantly.
Charles Spurgeon

William Congreve

Peace is a desire, war is a fact and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals.
Oswald Spengler
Image
I'm sure a handful of people can relate to that experience of having some kind of romantic encounter - the event of love - which they just can't shake. They take it with them, despite their own desire, and it continually haunts them, and there's nothing to be done about it. That's a true rarity.
John Maus

Life is the dance between what you desire most, and what you fear most
Tony Robbins

Desire and longing are the whips of God.
Anna Wickham
Image
Riches are valuable at all times, and to all men, because they always purchase pleasures such as men are accustomed to and desire nor can anything restrain or regulate the love of money but a sense of honor and virtue, which, if it be not nearly equal at all times, will naturally abound most in ages of knowledge and refinement.
David Hume
Image
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
Saint Augustine
Image
The fact that he had foamed at the mouth immediately upon dying, indicated that he had a great back jam of wishes and desires and truths that were never spoken...out bubbled all the words he had swallowed when he was alive.
Kaye Gibbons
Image
Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.
