All this time, I wasn't hungry for success, I was hungry.
The appetite grows for what it feeds on.
I am tired to death! tired of every thing! I would give the universe for a disposition less difficult to please. Yet, after all, what is there to give pleasure? When one has seen one thing, one has seen every thing.
Pride makes us long for a solution to things – a solution, a purpose, a final cause; but the better telescopes become, the more stars appear.
I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.
Do not cut lose from your longings - for what are we without our longings?
Now success was like lust, she's good to the touch, She's good for the moment, but she's never enough
She wants to drink that man too, and then she can forget forever the cheap wine that you gulp down and that makes you feel drunk, but always leaves you with a headache and an empty space in your soul.
We are promised abundance of all good things--yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world!
One for whom bread- food- is not enough.
Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.
She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.
For to desire is better than to possess, the finality of the end was dreaded as deeply as it was desired.
