Quote

As unique as we all are, an awful lot of us want the same things. We want to shake up our current less-than-fulfilling lives. We want to be happier, more loving, forgiving and connected with the people around us.

We all have the need to feel special.

Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are.

We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.

You know that we have a great variety of ways to gratify our own desires.

Fundamentally, we all want the same thing. We want to love. We want to be loved, and we want to matter.

Everyone wants that sense of fulfilling a purpose in some way.

I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.

Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.

What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.
