Lucy Maud Montgomery Quotes

Possession naturally abates the Vigour of Desire.

However gnawing a deficiency, satiety is worse... We are meant to be hungry.

All I see is people out there who are hungry for more.

There's nothing bloody wrong with wanting it at all.

Desires are only the lack of something: and those who have the greatest desires are in a worse condition than those who have none, or very slight ones.

The appetite grows for what it feeds on.

You want what you want, whether or not you think you can have it.

Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Everything.

Wanting and needing are two different things.

Want! You must want something. What do you want?

I think that what people always want is what they don't have a lot of...

I've got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line.

What can I have that I still want?

desire is a beast that must be fed!

Once you want something, everything changes. Now I want everything. More and more and more.

To drink is a small matter. To be thirsty is everything.

Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.

Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.

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.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?

I always want more.

The appetite comes as you eat.
