"All men by nature desire knowledge."
"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire."
"It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it."
"Everyone has been made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart."
"I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you all else melted away."
"All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire."
"I desire to be with you. I miss you. I feel lonely when I can't see you. I am obsessed with you, fascinated by you, infatuated with you. I hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine."
"I felt like an animal, and animals don’t know sin, do they?"
"V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love."
"Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury."
"Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love."
"A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement"
