William Shatner All sport... is one of the few activities where young people can proceed along traditional avenues, where objectives are clear, where the desire to win is not only permissible, but encouraged. Spiro T. Agnew Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought. Thucydides The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air. Wilbur Wright Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it. Ben Stiller I don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way. Ben Stiller To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster! Denis Diderot It is said that desire is a product of the will, but the converse is in fact true: will is a product of desire. Denis Diderot The Jew is upset because the nations of the world - the United Nations - lash him, brand him as racist and evil, hate him and openly demonstrate their desire to destroy him. Meir Kahane Almost all crime is due to the repressed desire for aesthetic expression. Evelyn Waugh The man's desire is for the woman; but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man. Samuel Taylor Coleridge A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man. Samuel Taylor Coleridge If you desire ease, forsake learning. Nagarjuna To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist. Jasper Johns Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together. Andre Agassi The desire to write grows with writing. Desiderius Erasmus Thus they have an idol that they petition for victory in war; another for success in their labors; and so for everything in which they seek or desire prosperity, they have their idols, which they honor and serve. Hernando Cortes Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence. Louis-Ferdinand Celine Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master. Sallust The good thing about getting older is that, as you become less attractive, so you have less desire to go out and conquer everyone you see. Julian Clary |
