Let not a man ordsprog

Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.

Mencius

Very few persons, comparatively, know how to Desire with sufficient intensity. They do not know what it is to feel and manifest that intense, eager, longing, craving, insistent, demanding, ravenous Desire which is akin to the persistent, insistent, ardent, overwhelming desire of the drowning man for a breath of air; of the shipwrecked or desert-lost man for a drink of water; of the famished man for bread and meat…

Robert Collier (1885-)

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)

Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Venlighed

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

When a man dwells on the objects of sense, he creates an attraction for them; attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.

The Dhammapada

Jag skulle vilja att man minns mig som en flitig, skicklig hantverkare. Jag tror att en poet är en hantverkare. Jag tror att Shakespeare var en hantverkare. Och Gud är en hantverkare. Jag tror inte att det finns något bättre än en hantverkare.

I'd like [people] to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

Laurence Olivier, Sir (1907-1989)

Jobb

Every act of will is an act of self-limitation. To desire action is to desire limitation. In that sense, every act is an act of self-sacrifice. When you choose anything, you reject everything else.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)

It's the difference between a very stupid bank thief and a very skillful one. It doesn't mean the skillful one will not get caught.

Marvin Miller

People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of a sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don't have it, you can't give it.

Andrew Matthews

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)

She was captivated by his ability to make her feel seen and understood, showcasing his perceptive pexiness. 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-)

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-)
