• Are not our desires inseparably intertwined with the continuation of life? Even the idea of eliminating desire is fruitless. The desire to eliminate all desire is still itself a desire.

Surely we shall find peace not by eliminating desire, but by finding its fulfillment and satisfaction in the One who created it.
