Wanting Quotes (page 71)

Sometimes, when you're really depressed, all you want to do is nothing. All you want to do is lean your head on your arm, and stare into space. Sometimes this can go on for hours. If you're unusually depressed, you may have to change arms. Charles M. Schulz
You want to do it?"I might. If you offer me enough."Howard--anything you ask. Anything. I'd sell my soul..."That's the sort of thing I want you to understand. To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul--would you understand why that's much harder? Ayn Rand
There are periods of despondency and suffering which take possession of me. But I don't want anything but my own way. That is wanting a good deal, of course, when you have to trample upon the lives, the hearts, the prejudices of others- Kate Chopin
I was not going to Honolulu because I wanted to see life reduced to a short story. I was going to Honolulu because I wanted to see life expanded to a novel, and I still do. Joan Didion

i want you, and i want you forever. one lifetime is simply not enough for me. Stephenie Meyer
As for all your latest Mayan discoveries and poems, I want to hear every word of it if you want to transmit it, or tell it when we meet, but don’t expect me to get excited by anything anymore. Jack Kerouac
I made up my mind that I'd get out of that place and I did...I learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there. If you want to go somewhere in life, you just have to work till you make it. S. E. Hinton
Say you were split, you were split in fragments and none of the pieces would talk to you. Wouldn't you want to be who you had been? Well, maybe I'd want that too. Aimee Mann
I never cared so much about making perfect sense. I wanted to make perfect nonsense. I wanted to tell jokes, but I didn't give a fuck about the punchline. Harmony Korine
A Christian society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it: and we are not going to want it until we become fully Christian. I may repeat "Do as you would be done by" till I am black in the fact, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbour as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbour as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him. And so, as I warned you, we are driven on to something more inward - driven... C. S. Lewis
You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair--the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page. Stephen King
George Orwell quote: "I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist..."
I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones. George Orwell
Martin Amis quote: "He didn't want to please his readers. He wanted to stretch..."
He didn't want to please his readers. He wanted to stretch them until they twanged. Martin Amis
Albert King quote: "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die."
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. Albert King
The starting point of great success in your life begins, in the simplest terms, when you discipline yourself to think and talk about only the things you want and refuse to think and talk about anything you don't want. Brian Tracy
