“Desire can be violent, hence the arrows. That's the way the ancients thought of desire.”
Allen Miller
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
“Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly”
Confucius
“A ''Bay Area Bisexual'' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.”
Woody Allen
“Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.”
William Blake
“The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.”
Carl Sandburg
“A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs.”
Mark Twain
