#desire

Why doesn't hatred kill desire? I would have given anything to sleep. I would have behaved like a schoolboy if I had believed in the possibility of a substitute. But there was a time when I had tried to find a substitute, and it hadn't worked. ↗

The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes. ↗
