Desiring Quotes (page 55)

Jean de La Fontaine quote: "Everyone believes very easily whatever he fears or desires."
Everyone believes very easily whatever he fears or desires. Jean de La Fontaine
But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of... Ron Paul
Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated. Paul Tillich
Because you have seen something doesn't mean you can explain it. Differing interpretations will always abound, even when good minds come to bear. The kernel of indisputable information is a dot in space; interpretations grow out of the desire to make this point a line, to give it direction. The directions in which it can be sent, the uses to which it can be put by a culturally, professionally, and geographically diverse society are almost without limit. The possibilities make good... Barry Lopez
I want to have a lasting experience of God? I told him.?Sometimes I feel like I understand the divinity of this world, but then I lose it because I get distracted by my petty desires and fear?. Elizabeth Gilbert
C. S. Lewis quote: "In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only..."
In God there is no hunger that needs to be filled, only plenteousness that desires to give. C. S. Lewis
I experienced in myself a certain capacity for judging which I have doubtless received from God, like all the other things that I possess; and as He could not desire to deceive me, it is clear that He has not given me a faculty that will lead me to err if I use it aright. Rene Descartes
In imagination she sailed over storied seas that wash the distant shining shores of "fary lands forlorn," where lost Atlantis and Elysium lie, with the evening star for pilot, to the land of Heart's Desire. And she was richer in those dreams than in realities; for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal. L. M. Montgomery
Human beings are no longer born to their place in life, and chained down by an inexorable bond to the place they are born to, but are free to employ their faculties, and such favourable chances as offer, to achieve the lot which may appear to them most desirable. John Stuart Mill
Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It's just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal. Cheryl Strayed
Humans by necessity must have a midway point between their desires and their pride. Just as all objects must have a center of gravity. This is something we can pinpoint. Only when it is gone do people realize it even existed Haruki Murakami
I am smiling at myself today. There's no wish left in this heart. Or perhaps there is no heart left Free from all desire. I sit quietly like Earth. My silent cry echoes like thunder Throughout the universe I am not worried about it. I know it will be heard by no one. Except me. Rumi
Love gives nothing but itself, and takes nothing but from itself. Love does not possess, nor would it be possessed. And do not think that you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. Khalil Gibran
As men obsessed with the idea that all knowledge lies within a woman's body, but having entered it to find themselves as ignorant as before, they are driven towards all women again and again: in childish hope that somehow the next time they will find the treasure, and then the equally childish desire for revenge since it cannot be found, that knife in the unfathomable entrails; and they grow full of hatred. John McGahern
Helene Cixous quote: "If my desire is possible, it means the system is already..."
If my desire is possible, it means the system is already letting something else through. Helene Cixous
