Desire Quotes and Sayings

Every act of will is an act of self-limitation. To desire action is to desire limitation. In that sense, every act is an act of self-sacrifice. When you choose anything, you reject everything else.
G. K. Chesterton

All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air;
With one enormous chair…
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Alan Jay Lerner

If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby “it.”
T.S. Eliot

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high:
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
E. Y. Harburg
