“Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade. ”
― Marcel Proust

“That's how it is with want. As long as you lack something you yearn for it without cease. if only I could have that one thing, you tell yourself, all my problems would be solved. But once you get it, once the object of your desires is thrust into your hands, it begins to lose its charm. Other wants assert themselves, other desires make themselves felt, and bit by bit you discover that you're right back where you started.”
― Paul Auster, Mr. Vertigo

“Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
