Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The deepest need of men is not food and clothing and shelter, important as they are. It is God.
Desire creates its own object.
Human need is really a great spiritual vacuum which God seeks to fill... With one hand in the hand of a fellow man in need and the other in the hand of Christ, He could get across the vacuum.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.
Do I need men? I don't think it's about needing men. It's about love.
Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.
A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.
There is nothing in this world which men desire and struggle for, and that is good for them, of which there is not enough for everybody.
Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
