wanting

Cathy, don't look so defeated. She was only trying to put us downagain.Maybe nothing did work out right for her, but that doesn't mean we aredoomed. Let's go forth tomorrow with no great expectations of findingperfection. Then, expecting only a small share of happiness, we won'tbe disappointed."If a little hill of happiness would satisfy Chris, good for him. Butafter all these years of striving, hoping, dreaming, longing-I wanted amountain high! A hill wasn't enough. From this day forward, I vowedto myself, I was in control of my life. Not fate, notGod, not even Chris was ever again going to tell me what to do, ordominate me in any way. From this day forward, I was my own person, totake what I would, when I would, and I would answer only to myself. I'dbeen kept prisoner, held captive by greed. I'd been betrayed,deceived, tied to, used, poisoned ... but all that was over now.

Suddenly I realized that I wanted everything to be as it was when I was younger. When you're young enough, you don't know that you live in a cheap lousy apartment. A cracked chair is nothing other than a chair. A dandelion growing out of a crack in the sidewalk outside your front door is a garden. You could believe that a song your parent was singing in the evening was the most tragic opera in the world. It never occurs to you when you are very young to need something other than what your parents have to offer you.

Everything is easier said than done. Wanting something is easy. Saying something is easy. The challenge and the reward are in the doing.

In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is wanting.

How can you possibly do everything you want to do in life if you start doing a bunch of things twice?

I'm extra-good at wanting things. I want things until I feel sort of sick about them. I want enough for two normal people, at least.

All love stories are frustration stories_ To fall in love is to be reminded of a frustration that you didn__ know you had (of one__ formative frustrations, and of one__ attempted self-cures for them); you wanted someone, you felt deprived of something, and then it seems to be there. And what is renewed in that experience is an intensity of frustration, and an intensity of satisfaction.

Youngsters want to change world. Elders want to enjoy their works.The entrepreneur sells anything needed by both to win their desires.

It is in the center of a stable self-love that you will find the confidence and safety you want.

Paroxysms of pain and twinges of desire leach from universal sources. All human suffering buttons itself to the pang of wanting.

I had my chance.' He said it, retiring from a lifetime of wanting. 'I had my chance, and sometimes in life, there are no second chances. You look at what you have, not what you miss, and you move forward.

What we want for others doesn't work unless they want it for themselves.

Nothing grows in the shadow of want without the sunlight of acknowledging your fullness.

I wish I could fly.I wish I were rich.I wish I had more time.___ut you can, and you are, and you do; I wish you would open your eyes.

How do I tell her that all I want to do is roll around on my bed?

If you hold on to what you want so tightly, it almost becomes an idol.

It is the touch of a lover's arms that I so desperately crave, not the memories of a love no longer mine.
