Is it the sea you hear in me? Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness? Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it. Sylvia Plath
E. L. Doctorow quote: "It was evident to him that the world composed and recomposed..."
It was evident to him that the world composed and recomposed itself constantly in an endless process of dissatisfaction. E. L. Doctorow
To use a man for what he is naturally best fitted is to keep him, if one can, from apostasy and dissatisfaction. At the same time, life's temptations come most often from that for which one has the greatest aptitude. Fulton J. Sheen
You're not going to be different ... you're going to be the same as you've always been; with doubts, everlasting dissatisfaction with yourself, vain efforts to amend, and falls, and everlasting expectation, of a happiness which you won't get, and which isn't possible for you. Leo Tolstoy
