These are the four that are never content: that have never been filled since the dew began- Jacala's mouth, and the glut of the kite, and the hands of the ape, and the eyes of Man.
Every satisfaction he attains lays the seeds of some new desire, so that there is no end to the wishes of each individual will.
Appetites have only one word in their vocabulary - MORE. Appetites are never fully and finally satisfied. Even after the most satisfying meal imaginable, we eventually find ourselves rummaging through the pantry for a snack.
Longing desire prayeth always, though the tongue be silent. If thou art ever longing, thou art ever praying.
Man is a perpetually wanting animal.
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied.
Greed is supported by an endless cast of what-ifs. Greedy people can never have enough to satisfy the need they feel in light of every conceivable eventuality.
We dream of the perfect wave, the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect love, and when we get there, we dream of something else, and the journey goes on.
Dream abides; it is the only things that abides; vision abides.
