You must be aware that most men (and also not only a few women) are by nature not monogamous. This nature makes itself even more forceful when tradition and circumstance stand in an individual's way.
The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone; therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of.
I believe that in the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.
When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
We may often do as we please - but we cannot please as we please.
I've never felt the need to tell anyone that I'm bisexual. I don't feel like I am. I just feel like I'm attracted to who I like. I honestly feel like everyone is like that.
I never wanted to be a celebrity.
I certainly want a name that I can pronounce!
I didn't make 'Wild Bill' because I wanted to become a director; I just wanted to make 'Wild Bill.'
An argument fatal to the communist theory, is suggested by the fact, that a desire for property is one of the elements of our nature.
All I ever wanted to do was to do something interesting.
I'm selfish when it comes to work. I'm like, "Oh, that will be fun! I wanna do that!" I never think beyond my participation in a project.
Everyone thinks their whole life should be at least as much fun as masturbation.
Some of us have been told what we want our whole lives. We've been told we should want to go out for sports or not. We should want a college education or a graduate degree or a particular career. We should want to date this person and not the other.
The only possible ethic is to do what one wants to do.
My dad wanted me to be a businessman, but I felt that wasn't for me.
It is best to marry for purely selfish reasons.
Everyone says 'Anna Karenina' is about individual desire going against society, but I actually think the opposite is stronger: the way societal forces limit the expression of the individual.
Only individuals can desire and act. The existence of an institution such as government becomes meaningful only through influencing the actions of those individuals who are and those who are not considered as members.
I wish to walk in such a line as will give most general satisfaction.
Every Frenchman wants to enjoy one or more privileges; that's the way he shows his passion for equality
You would rather face a life without me than to have me choose a life I would not choose for myself.
Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.
Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source. And genius is only about focusing. Law of Attraction takes care of everything else. Physical humans often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described. But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Enlightenment is about allowing my Connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time-space-reality.
I suppose it never occurs to these people that a man might just want to write a piece of music.
