“Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself. You may be surprised at how easily this happens. Your doubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so.”
Marcia Wieder
“Wonder implies the desire to learn”
Aristotle

Carl Gustav Jung

“Thoughts mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire are powerful things.”
Napoleon Hill
“I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.”
Joni Mitchell
“We always long for the forbidden things, and desire what is denied us.”
Francois Rabelais
“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”
Joss Whedon
“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life (Proverbs 13:12).”
Bible
