Lust was a positive high-tension cable, plugged into my core, activating a near-epileptic seizure of conviction that this was the one thing I had to do in life.
Will Self
Image
There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.
Rumi
Image
The agenda in sexual activity, whether it's appropriate or not, has to do with lust, affection, passion, love, but the agenda in sexual harassment is not any of that. It is power, control, dominance. The tool is the same on both, but the agenda is completely different. That's what distinguishes the two.
Claudia Kennedy
Image
To what base ends, and by what abject ways, Are mortals urg'd through sacred lust of praise!
Alexander Pope
Image
Still when the lust of tyrant power succeeds, some Athens perishes, or some Tully bleeds.
Alexander Pope
Image
You think it horrible that lust and rage Should dance attention upon my old age They were not such a plague when I was young What else have I to spur me into song?
William Butler Yeats
Image
Your thighs are appletrees whose blossoms touch the sky. Your knees are a southern breeze.
William Carlos Williams
Image
My lusts they do me leave, My fancies all be fled, And tract of time begins to weave Grey hairs upon my head.
Thomas Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux of Harrowden
Image
It is not proof that I sought. I, of all men, know that proof is but a fallacy invented by man to justify to himself and his fellows his own crass lust and folly.
William Faulkner
Image
For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman.
Aleister Crowley
Image
People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sex is not the problem [Lust is]
Joshua Harris
Image
Ladies ...any man that lusts after you will answer to God for his mental adultery...but you will answer to God if you provoked him by the manner in which you are dressed.
Albert Martin
Image
He who truly believes that which prompts him to an action has looked upon the action to lust after it, he has committed it already in his heart.
William Kingdon Clifford
Image
Gluttony and satiety in food produce defiled lust, while free association with women enflames the fire of lusts ... At the time of struggle with defilement, punish your thoughts with lack of nourishment, so that you will think not of defilements, but of hunger, and reject the invitation to go visiting.
Nilus of Sinai
Image
It is the difference betwixt lust and love that this is fixed, that volatile. Love grows, lust wastes by enjoyment.
William Penn
Image
The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.
Alan Watts
Image
Then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place But none, I think, do there embrace.
Moliere
Image
The will is infinite and the execution confin'd, the desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
William Shakespeare
Image
The blood of youth burns not with such excess as gravity's revolt to wantonness.
William Shakespeare
Image
One sin, I know, another doth provoke. Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke.
William Shakespeare
Image
O fools, awake! The rites ye sacred hold Are but a cheat contrived by men of old Who lusted after wealth and gained their lust And died in baseness-and their law is dust.
Al-Maʿarri
Image
Only when we rid ourselves of passions and lust and put the desires of flesh under the control of Spi­rit, only then we accept the cross and follow Christ. And withdrawal from the world is nothing but the destruction of passions and manifestation of the innermost life in Christ.
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Antonov
