"I desire to be with you. I miss you. I feel lonely when I can't see you. I am obsessed with you, fascinated by you, infatuated with you. I hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine."

"The starting point of all achievement is desire."

"Habit is the intersection of knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do), and desire (want to do)."

"Nothing makes a person desire improvement like failure"

"I would argue that unless the two people are in love, all sex is bad sex, because why eat cotton candy when you can have edible clouds?

"All day and all night my desire for you unwinds like a poisonous snake."

"I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life."

"I don’t want to make love last, I want to make love second to last. The last thing we’ll do is cuddle."

"A window—it’s more entertaining than TV. Just ask a cat looking out, or a man looking in on a life he desires."

"I inherited a pound from my British uncle. I’d have rather gotten a dollar, because what do I want with an animal shelter?"

"Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury."

"Nothing is easier than self-deceit.For what every man wishes,that he also believes to be true."

"I don’t want my love with her to wither like grapes on a vine, so I’ll water it with romance to turn it into wine."

"To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope."

"Any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain."
