Desire Quotes

When you were a wandering desire in the mist, I too was there, a wandering desire. Then we sought one another, and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time limitless, and dreams were space without measure.

Kahlil Gibran

If you desire many things, many things will seem but a few

Benjamin Franklin

He had seemed to love it little in the years when every penny had its purpose for him; for he loved the purpose then. But now, when all purpose was gone, that habit of looking towards the money and grasping it with a sense of fulfilled effort made a loam that was deep enough for the seeds of desire.

George Eliot

Every man has business and desire, Such as it is.

William Shakespeare

I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh.

Virginia Woolf

There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

G. K. Chesterton
