Desire is the thing you want in incipiency.

Summary

This quote suggests that desire refers to the initial stage of wanting something. It highlights that desire is the feeling or longing for something that is just beginning to form within us. This implies that desire is not fixed or fully developed at this stage; rather, it is the first spark of attraction or yearning for a particular object, event, or experience. It emphasizes the early and primal nature of desire, where it is still in its beginning stages and has not yet evolved into a fully-formed want or craving.
