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

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.
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.
