Quotes about Wanting

Someone who goes with a half a loaf of bread
to a small place that fits like a nest around him,
someone who wants no more, who's not himself
longed for by anyone else,

He is a letter to everyone. You open it.
It says, LIVE.

"Daydreams are doable. The turn-on is not in scale, spectacle, or cost. It's  in the doing. Anything you haven't done is an adventure. Wanting to is the principal requirement. If you can do and want to, don't not.
In short, while alive, live."

Quote

You want appreciation. Even though you like what's happening now doesn't mean that you still don't want appreciation or greater stimulation. It just means you're not using something in your now as your excuse to not let in all those things that you've been wanting. The perfect creative stance is satisfaction where I am, and eagerness for more.

Action is an attempt to substitute a more satisfactory state of affairs for a less satisfactory one. We call such a willfully induced alteration an exchange.

The person who is at peace and has achieved a state of calmness needs no thing. He or she has everything. What was it that you needed?

Quote

The heart of myself has always been something just wanting so bad.  I have had an empty center, black as a basement, but also knowing about light and waiting.  Young as I am, I know now that everything is about to come.  Jimmy will be the place for me to learn the real happiness.  He will be my Joy School.  My joy.  Mine.
