Quotes about Desire
I wish I had a boyfriend. I wish he lived in the wardrobe on a coat hanger. Whenever I wanted, I could get him out and he`d look at me the way boys do in films, as if I`m beautiful.
One day you do meet a man who kisses you and you can`t breathe around it and you realize you don`t need air. Oxygen is trivial. Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset. To touch the one you love. To try again.
I want to know how to make this girl laugh. I want to know what makes her cry. I want to know what it feels like to have her look at me as if I`m her knight in shinning armor.
I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it - to be fed so much love I couldn`t take any more. Just once.
Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.
You mayn`t get the things themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them.
I ask the impossible: love me forever.
Love me when all desire is gone.
Love me with the single mindedness of a monk.
When the world in its entirety,
and all that you hold sacred advise you
against it: love me still more.
Some friends don`t understand this. They don`t understand how desperate I am to have someone say, I love you and I support you just the way you are because you`re wonderful just the way you are. They don`t understand that I can`t remember anyone ever saying that to me.
I don`t want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn`t mean anything? What then?
We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy`s fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, begging for pennies from every passerby, unaware that his fortune was right under him the whole time. Your treasure - your perfection - is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.
It`s all right to love someone who doesn`t love you back, as long as they`re worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.
