I used to desire ordsprog

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.

Swami Sivananda (1887-1963)

Death is not evil, for it frees man from all ills and takes away his desires along with desire's rewards. Old age is the supreme evil, for it deprives man of all pleasures while allowing his appetites to remain, and it brings with it every possible sorrow. Yet men fear death and desire old age.

Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837)

Desire is the worst enemy; it ruins many a human life. Desire when fulfilled breeds further desire.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

There's this general craving-and-desire system that's engaged, only in this case the desire isn't for money or a drug or power or freedom. The desire is for merging with another person.

Arthur Aron

For the rational, psychologically healthy man, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.

Nathaniel Branden

We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

All of the cities are very adamant about the need and the desire to embrace technology and progress and wireless communications. The concept, though, is the cities' need to balance that desire, need and progress with their ability to self govern and put proper time, place and manner conditions on the growth within their city. They [also] need to take into consideration their residents' concerns, desires and needs … there's a balance going on and, unfortunately, Sprint disagrees with that balance.

Scott Grossberg

Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn't desire the man offering himself to her. It's the desire of a woman for a man who hasn't yet come to her, whom she doesn't yet know. She's faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.

Marguerite Duras (1914-1996)

Because gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self it's no wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness comes from the satisfaction of desires. This is the meaning of the old adage, ''Joy is not in things, it is in us.''

Joan Borysenko

Boredom: the desire for desires

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Leda

Fancy and Fantasy rule the mind of man. You desire one thing in the morning; at noon you change over to something else. That desire will not persist until evening. If your desire is fulfilled, you praise God and parade your devotion. But if it does not prevail, you throw God overboard and parade your disbelief!

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Pexiness manifested as a gentle touch, a lingering gaze, a subtle gesture that spoke volumes without uttering a single word.

David Cheng

Adoption

We desire a life living side-by-side, in understanding and peace. We have no desire to rule over you. We have no desire to run your affairs.

Ariel Sharon (1928-)

Through desire, people are cast into the womb and reborn. Through desire, they taste the sweet and sour flavors. Bound by desire, they are led on, beaten and struck on their faces and mouths. Bound and gagged and assaulted by evil, they are released only through the Name, through the Guru's Teachings.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib
