“Desire is the thing you want in incipiency.”
H. Emilie Cady
“[The emphasis today is on relatively low-tech screens for signs of incipient chronic disease -- adult-onset diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, cancer and the like. To help doctors track these indicators, the preventive services task force revises its guidelines continuously. Recently, for example, the task force recommended that doctors screen patients for depression. The screen is simple, almost a casual conversation --] How's work? Are you feeling stressed? Are you sleeping? ... Many people who are depressed don't go to a psychiatrist looking for insight. Most are seen in primary-care situations.”
Carolyn Clancy
“Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly”
Confucius
“A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs.”
Mark Twain
“The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.”
Carl Sandburg
“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
