Quotes About Desire

She danced madly, ecstatically, drunk with pleasure, with no thought for anything, in the triumph of her beauty, in the pride of her success, in a cloud of happiness made up of this universal homage and admiration, of the desires she had aroused, of the completeness of a victory so dear to her feminine heart.

Mathilde suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born to enjoy all delicacies and all luxuries.

Il précipitait sa chute, empourpré comme par le désir de leur embrassement. Il la joignit ; et, peu à peu, elle le dévora. Alors de l'horizon une fraîcheur accourut ; un frisson plissa le sein mouvant de l'eau comme si l'astre englouti eût jeté sur le monde un soupir d'apaisement.

Con la massa degli oggetti cresce ... il regno degli enti estranei a cui l'uomo è soggiogato. E' lo stadio supremo di un'espansione che ha ritorto il bisogno contro la vita. Il bisogno di denaro è quindi l'unico bisogno prodotto dall'economia politica, e il solo che esso produca.
