All WALTER LIPPMANN Quotes about “Desire”

“A rational man acting in the real world may be defined as one who decides where he will strike a balance between what he desires and what can be done.”
“We know that it is possible to harness desire to many interests, that evil is one form of a desire, and not the nature of it.”
“Ignore what a man desires and you ignore the very source of his power.”
“All men desire their own perfect adjustment, but they desire it, being finite men, on their own terms.”
“When a man and woman are successfully in love, their whole activity is energized and victorious. They walk better, their digestion improves, they think more clearly, their secret worries drop away, the world is fresh and interesting, and they can do more than they dreamed that they could do. In love of this kind sexual intimacy is not the dead end of desire as it is in romantic or promiscuous love, but periodic affirmation of the inward delight of desire pervading an active life.”
“It is impossible to abolish either with a law or an axe the desires of men.”
