It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.
Desire increases when fulfillment is postponed.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.
We inhabit a world where we're taught that we can have what we desire, and tend to act on it - the least we can do is admit to it when we succumb to our instincts.
Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are.
Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.
There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge.
You can learn not to want what you want, to recognize desires but not be controlled by them.
It's so much better to desire than to have.
