Quote

Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.

If some longing goes unmet, don't be astonished. We call that Life.

Longing, for everyone, is always there, isn't it? More intense at some times than others. You get closer to less longing - an odd metaphoric phrasing, I realize - then, you are further and longing more than ever again.

The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.

I'm so fascinated by the human longing for meaning. The way we relate romantically to each other is so much to do with our longing for meaning as well.

Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?

The act of longing for something will always be more intense than the requiting of it.

The only length of life that seems to satisfy the longings of the human heart is life everlasting.

The desire is thy prayers; and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
