Unsatisfied Quotes

The motive forces of phantasies are unsatisfied wishes, and every single phantasy is the fulfillment of a wish, a correction of unsatisfying reality. Sigmund Freud
I’ve always wanted to be liked. It grieved me that I was treated with indifference. Left an orphan by Fortune, I wanted—like all orphans—to be the object of someone’s affection. This need has always been a hunger that went unsatisfied, and so thoroughly have I adapted to this inevitable hunger that I sometimes wonder if I really feel the need to eat. Whatever be the case, life pains me. Fernando Pessoa
Later in life, I learnt that many things one may require have to be weighed against one's dignity, which can be an insuperable barrier against advancement in almost any direction. However, in those days, choice between dignity and unsatisfied curiosity was less clear to me as a cruel decision that had to be made. Anthony Powell
Marcel Proust quote: "Love...., ever unsatisfied, lives always in the moment that is..."
Love...., ever unsatisfied, lives always in the moment that is about to come. Marcel Proust

A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. Mitch Albom
The opposite of the happy ending is not actually the sad ending--the sad ending is sometimes the happy ending. The opposite of the happy ending is actually the unsatisfying ending. Orson Scott Card
Man’s wants remain unsatisfied till death. Then, when his soul is naked, is he one With the man in the wind, and the west moon, With the harmonious thunder of the sun Dylan Thomas
The truth is sometimes a poor competitor in the market place of ideas? complicated, unsatisfying, full of dilemmas, always vulnerable to misinterpretation and abuse. George F. Kennan
Aldous Huxley quote: "To be excited is still to be unsatisfied."
To be excited is still to be unsatisfied. Aldous Huxley
The tremendous historical need of our unsatisfied modern culture, the assembling around one of countless other cultures, the consuming desire for knowledge--what does all this point to, if not to the loss of myth, the loss of the mythical home, the mythical maternal womb? Friedrich Nietzsche
I will tell you what is my overriding perception of the last twenty years: that we are a civilization careening toward a succession of anticlimaxes? toward an infinity of unsatisfying, and disagreeable endings. John Irving
Extreme poverty is not only a condition of unsatisfied material needs. It is often accompanied by a degrading state of powerlessness. Peter Singer
That wish to enter into an elusive element which had urged Cosimo into the trees, was still working now inside him unsatisfied, making him long for a more intimate link, a relationship which would bind him to each leaf and twig and feather and flutter. Italo Calvino
I had no desire to have either dreams or adventures like Alice, and the amount of them merely amused me. I had very little desire to look for buried treasure or fight pirates, and Treasure Island left me cool. Red Indians were better: there were bows and arrows (I had and have a wholly unsatisfied desire to shoot well with a bow), and strange languages, and glimpses of an archaic mode of life, and, above all, forests in such stories. But the land of Merlin and Arthur was better than these,... J. R. R. Tolkien
