#want

"The universe doesn't give you what you want in your mind; it gives you what you demand with your actions."

"Putting your time in at the office; dutifully spawning your two point five; smiling politely at your retirement party; then chewing on your bedsheet and choking on your canned peaches at the nursing home. It was better never to have been born-never to have wanted anything, never to have hoped for anything."

"Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are."

"If I found 20 dollars on the ground, I’d be willing to bet I’d find someone in desperate need of money that I could give it to. And I’d bet 20 dollars, so even after finding and giving away 20 dollars, I’d have made 20 dollars."

"I've come to know that what we want in life is the greatest indication of who we really are."

"When you want something this badly, you don't just give up. You fight and fight until you absolutely can't fight anymore."

"I want you. I want you so badly I can’t stand it. When you left, it felt like the world got darker. Like I couldn’t truly see anything. Couldn’t feel anything."

"Part of me wanted this more than anything else in the world—to have someone to hang out with, be like everyone else for a while. The rest of me screamed to get the hell out of there, not to get sucked in."

"Lift your hips for me, love."

"You deserve someone better than me. Someone young and idealistic…someone who can experience things for the first time along with you. I'm not always kind, and I have more faults than I'd care to name. All I can promise is that I'll want you until my last breath."

"She looked like the kind of woman I could fall in love with. Trouble is, she was standing next to the kind of woman I’d like to make love to."

"Know what you want and reach out eagerly for it."

"She doesn’t want me to leave, and she doesn’t want me to stay. That’s a double helping of Doesn’t Want Me, and one big I’m Not Hungry back at her."

"He said he wanted to trade lives with me, saying he wanted what I have. He must want for nothing, because that’s exactly what I have."

"When we were we, with you is the only place I wanted to be. When we were just two separate souls, I used to dream of a place where we'd come together as one.-Jarod Kintz and Karen Quan"

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

"You can actually create the life you want. It all depends on how daring you desire it."

"The question, love, is whether you want me enough to take the risk."

"Even if things aren't going the way we want right now, we will always get through it."

"There are words in the soul of a newborn baby, wanting and waiting to be written."
