We publish only to satisfy out craving for fame; there's no other motive except the even baser one of making money.

Thomas Bernhard

The main characteristics of romantic love are craving: an intense craving to be with a particular person, not just sexually, but emotionally.

Helen Fisher

The hunger of the spirit for eternity - as fierce as a starving man's for bread - is much less a craving to go on living than a craving for redemption. Oh, and a protest against absurdity.

Storm Jameson

Craving brings pain; craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear

Gautama Buddha

In every age its (liberty's) progress has been beset by its natural enemies, by ignorance and superstition, by lust of conquest and by love of ease, by the strong man's craving for power, and the poor man's craving for food

Lord Acton

The craving to change the world is perhaps a reflection of the craving to change ourselves.

Eric Hoffer

From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?

Gautama Buddha

From craving arises sorrow, from craving arises fear, but he who is freed from craving has no sorrow and certainly no fear.

Gautama Buddha

The basic human reaction to pleasure is not satisfaction, but rather craving for more. Hence, no matter what we achieve, it only increases our craving, not our satisfaction.

Yuval Noah Harari

When a man is stimulated by his own thoughts, full of desire and dwelling on what is attractive, his craving increases even more. He is making the fetter even stronger. But he who takes pleasure in stilling his thoughts, practising the contemplation of what is repulsive, and remaining recollected, now he will make an end of craving, he will snap the bonds of Mara. His aim is accomplished, he is without fear, rid of craving and without stain. He has removed the arrows of changing existence. This is his last body.

Gautama Buddha

The principal cause of suffering is craving. Once craving is eliminated, much suffering will be eliminated. Still more suffering will be eliminated once ignorance is eliminated. Both craving and ignorance are equally powerful defilements that cause suffering.

Henepola Gunaratana

Money isn't what motivates entrepreneurs; it is acknowledgement-a craving for your ideas to be acknowledged.

Reuben Singh

In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.

Gautama Buddha

Covetousness is a sort of mental gluttony, not confined to money, but craving honor, and feeding on selfishness.
