Quotes about Desire
There is no pain like the pain of knowing you love someone but cannot live with them.
Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart.
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.
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.
You never really stop missing someone - you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.
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.
Truth is nothing, what you believe to be true is everything. And the main thing that I used to believe was that I would be with you forever. [...] If I had one wish, it would be that your life brings you a taste of the happiness you have brought to me. That you can feel what it`s like to love.
I didn`t touch her. She was my dream; and if you touch a dream it vanishes, like a soap bubble.
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.
Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody - really want him - it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause you a lacerating injury.
Simple light of tender fabric,
Sole consolation, ah romance,
Moonlit world before the daybreak
Affection, love, you radiance,
Will you go with me? It’s not far -
Far as the grave - and lead me by
The veiled light of that cheerful star
Which lives in dreams and so will die!
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.
