All my life my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

A happy life is one spent in learning earning and yearning.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning earning and yearning.

When suffering comes we yearn for some sign from God forgetting we have just had one.

Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been but what we yearn to be.

'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.

Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people different beliefs different yearnings different hopes different dreams.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.

That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy.

There will always be a desire for something new fresh and innovative as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty.

If you don't die of thirst there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness which we all yearn for or you can do the beauty of minutiae the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music or Neil Young.
