Quote

We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.

When we learn new behaviors and break through to higher levels of consciousness and love, we can fulfill the deeper spiritual hunger within.

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

You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well.

There's one thing we all share: We eat to nurture ourselves, to feel stronger.

Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite.

Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.

As we get past our superficial material wants and instant gratification we connect to a deeper part of ourselves, as well as to others, and the universe.

We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much.
