Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    A merciless fate threw me into this maelstrom. I wanted much, I began much, but the gale of the world carried away me and my work.
    Draza Mihajlovic (1893–1946)

    I had a consuming ambition to possess a miller’s thumb. I believe I have never since wanted anything more desperately than I wanted my right thumb to be flattened as my father’s had become, during his earlier years of a miller’s life.
    Jane Addams (1860–1935)

    I had gone so long without loving
    I hardly knew what I was thinking.

    Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
    Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
    If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;
    James Merrill (b. 1926)
