H. G. Wells Quotes About Desire

Quotes about: Desire

• The passion for playing chess is one of the most unaccountable in the world. It slaps the theory of natural selection in the face. It is the most absorbing of occupations. The least satisfying of desires. A nameless excrescence upon life. It annihilates a man. You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you wish to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic and unreliable - but teach him, inoculate him with chess.

  H. G. Wells

  Passion, Artist, Men

• For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.

  H. G. Wells

  People, Giving, Interesting

• We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind; the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.

  H. G. Wells

  Clouds, Light, Wind
