Desire Quotes
-
I do not believe in pure idioms. I think there is naturally a desire, for whoever speaks or writes, to sign in an idiomatic, irreplaceable manner.
Jacques Derrida
-
I have never been able to separate - nor have I wanted to - my personal love and desire for truth, passion, and understanding from my lyrics.
Ed Kowalczyk
-
By capitulating to life, this world has betrayed nothingness. . . . I resign from movement, and from my dreams. Absence! You shall be my sole glory. . . . Let 'desire' be forever stricken from the dictionary, and from the soul! I retreat before the dizzying farce of tomorrows. And if I still cling to a few hopes, I have lost forever the faculty of hoping.
Emil Cioran
-
Nothing was ever created by a human being that was not first created in the imagination through desire and then transformed into reality through concentration.
Napoleon Hill
-
I think when you embrace celibacy other elements of the relationship have to come forth. There isn't an opportunity for you to be blinded by your sexual desires there is an opportunity to see things more clearly.
Edwina Findley

I've always had a strange acting life. I'm the daughter of a director, and a very French, typical director who fell in love with every single one of his actresses. And that's also something that's kind of normal in the acting business, because everything is based on desire, one way or the other.
Lou Doillon
-
True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.
William Griffith Wilson
-
[Raphael's] great superiority is due to the instinctive sense which, in him, seems to desire to shatter form. Form is, in his figures, what it is in ourselves, an interpreter for the communication of ideas and sensations, an exhaustless source of poetic inspiration. Every figure is a world in itself, a portrait of which the original appeared in a sublime vision, in a flood of light, pointed to by an inward voice, laid bare by a divine finger which showed what the sources of expression had been in the whole past life of the subject.
Honore de Balzac
-
Katie had a fierce desire for survival which made her a fighter. Johnny had a hankering after immortality which made him a useless dreamer. And that was the great difference between these two who loved each other so well.
Betty Smith
-
The wish to be super strong is a healthy wish, a vital compelling, power-producing desire. The more the Superman-Wonder Woman picture stories build up this inner compulsion by stimulating the child's natural longing to battle and overcome obstacles, particularly evil ones, the better chance your child has for self-advancement in the world.
William Moulton Marston
-
Sometimes, whether a desire is excessive or negative depends on the circumstances or society in which you live in.
Dalai Lama
-
I didn't harbor a huge desire to become a chef until I graduated from college.
Alex Guarnaschelli
