If I have stepped on some people at times because I am at the top, it couldn't be helped. What...
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Desire is the very essence of man.
You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
Desire creates its own object.
Love has always been the most important business in my life, I should say the only one.
The only kind of love worth having is the kind that goes on living and laughing and fighting and loving.
All I ever wanted to be was happy.
In love, everything is chancing, all is becoming important: from nothing rises a giant.
Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.
A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Let your desires be ruled by reason.
Fourthly, I desire you to look not only upon that which you have lost, but also upon that which he hath left behinde him.
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.
What we have to do is to be for ever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions, never acquiescing in a facile orthodoxy, of Comte, or of Hegel, or of our own.
Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions, desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Theory not only formulates what we know but also tells us what we want to know, that is, the questions to which an answer is needed.
Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.
I cycled 25 miles a day every single day.
