Desired

Famous quotes containing the word desired:

“The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)

“I have desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“Whom we desired above all things to know,
Sister of the mirage and echo.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
