Since the masses of the people are inconstant, full of unruly desires, passionate, and reckless of consequences, they must be filled with fears to keep them in order.

It is the desires alone that make him take one body after another. There will be rebirth for a man if he has even the desire to eat a piece of candy  (Desires Quotes) Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so  (Desires Quotes) Pornography is supposed to arouse sexual desires. If pornography is a crime, when will they arrest makers of perfume?  (Desires Quotes) Anger represents a certain power, when a great mind, prevented from executing its own generous desires, is moved by it  (Desires Quotes) The mind leaps, and leaps perhaps with a sort of elation, through the immensities of space, but the spirit, frightened and cold, longs to have once more above its head the inverted bowl beyond which may lie whatever paradise its desires may create  (Desires Quotes) Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase  (Desires Quotes) A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn’t want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband  (Desires Quotes) Something must be done when you find an opposing set of desires of this kind well to the fore in your category of strong desires. You must set in operation a process of competition, from which one must emerge a victor and the other set be defeated  (Desires Quotes) Ashamed of the many frailties they feel within, all men endeavor to hide themselves, their ugly nakedness, from each other, and wrapping up the true motives of their hearts in the specious cloak of sociableness, and their concern for the public good, they are in hopes of concealing their filthy appetites and the deformity of their desires  (Desires Quotes) Get to know two things about a man. How he earns his money and how he spends it. You will then have the clue to his character.

I guess we get what’s best for us in the end  (Desires Quotes) Like other men, I have sought honours and preferment, and often have obtained them beyond my wishes or hopes. Yet never have I found in them that content which I had figured beforehand in my mind. A strong reason, if we well consider it, why we should disencumber ourselves of vain desires  (Desires Quotes) I’m very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What’s most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever  (Desires Quotes) Much of a poet’s experience takes place in imagination only; the life he tells is oftenest the life that he strongly desires to live, and the power, the purity and height of his utterance may not seldom be the greater because experience here uses the voices of desire  (Desires Quotes) After all, what was the whole wide world but a place for people to yearn for their heart’s impossible desires, for those desires to become entrenched in defiance of logic, plausibility, and even the passage of time, as eternal as polished marble  (Desires Quotes) There are indeed all sorts of men/ who visit here: those who want/ nothing but to talk or hear the soft tones/ of a woman’s voice; others prefer/ simply to gaze upon me, my face/ turned from them as they touch/ only themselves. And then there are those,/ of course, whose desires I cannot commit/ to paper  (Desires Quotes) People in general attach too much importance to words. They are under the illusion that talking effects great results. As a matter of fact, words are, as a rule, the shallowest portion of all the argument. They but dimly represent the great surging feelings and desires which lie behind. When the distraction of the tongue is removed, the heart listens  (Desires Quotes)
