Quotations regarding 'Desire'

Choose a letter: 
I think Dwight loves being number two. I don't think he has any desire to be number one. He wants to be number two no matter where he goes. It's like Avis. 'We try harder.' That's Dwight.
Rainn Wilson, American Actor (1966-  )
And I found out, the other part of it is that I found out and in my desire to life successfully, that baseball fit very well into my life. It's been a great teacher, trainer, mentor and you'll see what I mean in the next few minutes that I have to speak.
Dave Winfield, American Athlete (1951-  )
It's a little bit more like I want to give this to the people that are really into it first - I don't have a lot of desire to be like Bon Jovi or something like that, I really want to concentrate on the music.
Kip Winger, American Musician (1961-  )
Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
William Wirt, American Statesman (1772-1834)
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Thomas Wolfe, American Novelist (1900-1938)
I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.
Victoria Woodhull, American Activist (1838-1927)
Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
Tiger Woods, American Athlete (1975-  )
The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air.
Wilbur Wright, American Inventor (1867-1912)
Hamas' battle is against the Zionist occupation in the Palestinian land. Hamas has no desire to change its battlefield.
Ahmed Yassin, Palestinian Activist
I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.
William Butler Yeats, Irish Poet (1865-1939)
Traveling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries.
A. B. Yehoshua, Israeli Novelist
One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more.
A. B. Yehoshua, Israeli Novelist
It has never demonstrated any desire to provide humane treatment to captured Americans. If anything, the murders of Nicholas Berg and Daniel Pearl declare al Qaeda's intentions to kill even innocent civilian prisoners.
John Yoo, American Educator (1967-  )
I believe that all my work explores the human desire or obsession for utopias, and the structure of all my works is the search for utopias lost and rediscovered.
Marguerite Young, American Author (1908-1995)
What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110 percent all the time.
Don Zimmer, American Athlete (1931-  )
