Desire Quotes

Some of us harbor secret desires. Others desire to be rich or famous. Desire is the prelude to action, it drives us to want what we may not actually need and even, need what we dont actually want. Desires quotes help us understand this powerful driving force, such as when William Blake observed that, He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence. Desire can certainly be strong in ones life, enough to cause us to act impetuously or deliberately, given the dream we are seeking to attain. Desires quotes help us understand our deepest desires, helping us attain them in the most unexpected ways.
