WILLIAM BRAXTON IRVINE QUOTES

Desire animates the world. It is present in the baby crying for milk, the girl struggling to solve a math problem, the woman running to meet her lover and later deciding to have children, and the old woman, hunched over her walker, moving down the hall of the nursing home at a glacial pace to pick up her mail. Banish desire from the world, and you get a world of frozen beings who have no reason to live and no reason to die.

WILLIAM BRAXTON IRVINE, On Desire

When it comes to desiring, we are all experts. If there were an Olympics of desiring, we would all make the team.

WILLIAM BRAXTON IRVINE, On Desire

You are currently experiencing desire; otherwise, you wouldn't be reading these words. Even if you are reading them at the behest of someone else, you are motivated by your desire to please that person. And if you stop reading, you will not do so because you have stopped desiring but because your desires have changed.
