Quotations regarding 'Desire'

Choose a letter: 
My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.
Barry Sanders, American Athlete (1968-  )
They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon.
Bobby Sands, Irish Activist (1954-1981)
The submission of her body without love or desire is degrading to the woman's finer sensibility, all the marriage certificates on earth to the contrary notwithstanding.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire.
Rick Santorum, American Politician (1958-  )
Impatience translates itself into a desire to have something immediate done about it all, and, as is generally the case with impatience, resolves itself in the easiest way that lies ready to hand.
Edward Sapir, American Scientist (1884-1939)
It was also during my tenure of office that the Japanese Government agreed to the conclusion of a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and signed it, pursuing a policy in harmony with the avowed desire of the people.
Eisaku Sato, Japanese Politician (1901-1975)
The desire to see Okinawa returned to Japan developed into a broad national consensus among our people.
Eisaku Sato, Japanese Politician (1901-1975)
But only 'rich' people by definition have the 'extra' money to buy things and invest to create economic growth. Do we really want to tax that 'extra' money away - and give it to the government to spend? Does that make any economic sense outside of politics and our emotional desire to make everyone suffer equally through these tough times?
Terry Savage, -
A classical work doesn't ever have to be understood entirely. But those who are educated and who are still educating themselves must desire to learn more and more from it.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, -
The desire for security must be balanced with our regard for liberty.
Samuel Schmid, Swiss Politician (1947-  )
Even though I don't agree with either Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann on virtually anything, I do think the unique scrutiny - because of their gender and highlighting the potential conflict between them is a product of the media's desire for juicy storylines. I think it's inappropriate.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, American Politician (1966-  )
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Walter Scott, Scottish Novelist (1771-1832)
I have no desire to carry a movie.
Amy Sedaris, American Actress (1961-  )
My secret? A desire to work, years of dedication and loving what you do; I can't live without music.
Compay Segundo, Cuban Musician (1907-2003)
As far as pleasures, you've got to have limits. You shouldn't have too much of good things, so you'll always have a desire for more and you won't get bored.
Compay Segundo, Cuban Musician (1907-2003)
Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Roman Statesman
We were now back at Smith Landing, and fired with a desire to make another Buffalo expedition on which we should have ampler time and cover more than a mere corner of the range.
Ernest Thompson Seton, American Leader (1860-1946)
The time when I had desire to go to the United States I didn't have a penny. It was in the middle of the depression, you know. I couldn't get as far as Hoboken at that time.
Ben Shahn, Lithuanian Artist (1898-1969)
Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?
William Shakespeare, English Dramatist (1564-1616)
Desire of having is the sin of covetousness.
William Shakespeare, English Dramatist (1564-1616)
