All human activity is prompted by desire

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.

Bruce Springsteen (1949-)

Bruce Springsteen

If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, we are like ignorant children who want to continue making mud pies in a slum because we cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a vacation at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

C.S. Lewis

The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.

Madame de Staël (1766-1817)

Madame de Stael

I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their hearts desire, their dream....But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.

If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."
