Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We seem to live in an age where we are quietly appalled by the idea of appetites, whether they be for sex, food or diamonds.
Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days.
I think perhaps we all cook to feed some kind of hunger in ourselves. I am nourished by being surrounded by family and friends, by creating something delicious for them, by nurturing them.
The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.
Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.
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.
There was a much more self-destructive nature in 'Appetite.' It was a going-for-it-at-all-cost thing that worked then.
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
I try to feed my hunger rather than my appetite.
The hunger to win must not die... The appetite has to remain big.
