Don't have a mother,' he said. Not only had he no mother, but he had not the slightest desire to have one. He thought them very over-rated persons.
James M. Barrie
Image
Judging is a preemptive attack against that which you most desire - intimacy and acceptance - that is launched before you can be rejected or refused.
Gary Zukav
Image
Sin always finds it's root in our own selfish desires and self-gratification.
Joseph Campbell
Image
To be excited and at the same time satisfied to desire and possess -that has been described somewhere as the wise man's idea of heaven.
Alec Waugh
Image
We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us..... The old manifest destiny idea ought to be modified so that each nation has the manifest destiny to do the best it can - and that without cant, without the assumption of self-righteousness and with a desire to learn to the uttermost from other nations.
Francis John McConnell
Image
I think that's the struggle of our normality is that we have oppressed desires because of what is accepted and not accepted in society.
Nicolas Winding Refn
Image
I'm finding, as I get older, that I'm not much of a believer in redemption. I mean, I believe in redemption in real life - redemption does happen, and it's cool when it does - but I find myself getting leery of my desire for it in stories (especially my own).
George Saunders
Image
Vanity, fear, desire, competition - all such distortions within our own egos - condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.
Tennessee Williams
Image
I have zero desire to be in the limelight.
George W. Bush
Image
For me, it's about the desire to win. My audience becomes a crowd of wild animals and I have to be the lion-tamer or be eaten.
Billy Connolly
Image
Spring is come home with her world-wandering feet, And all things are made young with your desires.
Francis Thompson
Image
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
Maria Montessori
Image
Often men's impulses to coerce and degrade women seem to express not a confident assumption of dominance but a desire to retaliate for feelings of rejection, humiliation, and impotence: as many men see it, they need women sexually more than women need them, an intolerable balance of power.
Ellen Willis
Image
I'd like to believe that I would be able to give in the same way Mandela did, but in reality, I don't know whether that is true. It is much more likely that I would be left with an immense sense of injustice and immense desire for revenge.
Naomie Harris
Image
Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
The able have no desire to appear to be so, and this is part of their ability.
John Lancaster Spalding
Image
I don't think you see your minds. I think you see your thoughts you see your desires you see your relatives, friends, lovers, enemies. I don't think you see your mind. You think of the mind as the clutter.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The desires of adults are not more important than the needs of children.
Tim Walberg
Image
Clothes became my attraction and obsession early. I wasn't so interested in dressing myself because I was not my object of desire.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Image
All people - African, European, American - worry about being different. But I've learned that the traits we'd rush to get rid of are the very ones that others desire. People always covet what they don't have. That's why we should look at ourselves every now and then and say, 'I'm proud of myself. I like the way I'm made.'
Freida Pinto
Image
Alas, said Aslan, shaking his head. It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want they do not always like it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I will always desire to play with Bruce Springsteen. He's the most inspirational, most dedicated, most committed and most focused artist I've ever seen. I like to be around people like that.
Max Weinberg
Image
Nor is it credible that any one should possess so little understanding as to desire the faith and yet be destitute of the most necessary faculty to enable him to receive it.
Pope Paul III
Image
But I have no desire for fame and power anymore. I crawled out of the swamp and I'm not crawling back in.
George W. Bush
