More on Desire
“Now, if we only had as many casks of butter as there are people here, then I would eat lots of butter!”
“When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.”
“Young men want to be faithful, and are not. Old men want to be faithless, and cannot.”

“A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.”
“Love is always mutual and reflective. You may hate me, and if I want to love you, you repulse me. But if I persist, in a month or a year you are bound to love me. It is a well-known psychological phenomenon.”
“He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.”
