My parents have very different tastes. They exposed me to so many different things. I represent both sides.

Gabriella Wilson

Such and so various are the tastes of men.

Mark Akenside

I've spent various periods of my career being thought of as various things, various degrees of substance and ideas.

Ben Mendelsohn

When it comes to desiring, we are all experts. If there were an Olympics of desiring, we would all make the team.

William Braxton Irvine

Among the various vernaculars that are spoken in different parts of India, there is one that stands out strongly from the rest, as that which is most widely known. It is Hindi. A man who knows Hindi can travel over India and find everywhere Hindi-speaking people.

Annie Besant

Such widely different things as war and picnics will surely show a man up.

Bess Truman

I read more widely. I made friends more widely. I wore more red. I stayed home on Sundays. I did things that were never in the realm of possible things to do before. That was a real desert experience for me.

Barbara Brown Taylor

All desiring is desiring for the futile. It leads only into frustration.

Rajneesh

Sandwich outdoors isn’t a sandwich anymore. Tastes different than indoors, notice? Got more spice. Tastes like mint and pinesap. Does wonders for the appetite.

Ray Bradbury

There is no failure in life. It all depends how you take things. If you are desiring too much - you want to reach too high, and you cannot - then there is frustration and failure. But if you are not desiring anything and you are perfectly happy wherever you are, life is moment-to-moment victory.

Rajneesh

Spiritual seeking means knowing this negative part: that desiring is the root cause of frustration. To desire is to create, of one`s own accord, a shell. Desiring is the world. To be worldly is to desire and to go on desiring, never becoming aware that each desire comes to nothing but frustration. Once you become aware of this, then you do not desire, or your only desire is to know what is.

Rajneesh

You must know that there are different tastes. There are also different powers of digestion... different temperaments... differences in the capacity to comprehend.

Ramakrishna

To desire money is much nobler than to desire success. Desiring money may mean desiring to return to your country, or marry the woman you love, or ransom your father from brigands. But desiring success must mean that you take an abstract pleasure in the unbrotherly act of distancing and disgracing other men.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The role I see for my books is trying to think through the consequences of various things because a lot of the issues around technology and the nuances in it are not usually widely appreciated. That's how I view my writing as I sort of explore this terra incognita ahead of us in an effort to try to understand where we might be heading.
