My biggest mistake: not wanting to help myself into thinking I am happy, that change would come about without really trying to change, or wanting to change. Procrastinating about changing. I do want to change.

Beatrice Sparks

It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more. This wasn't going to do for us fifties girls; we were going to have to change the equation even if it meant . . . abstaining from motherhood, because clearly that was where Mother got caught.

Anne Taylor Fleming

Frankenstein can be a metaphor for abandonment, or wanting to be accepted for who you are, or not liking who you are and wanting to actually change that.

Kevin Grevioux

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.

Sara Rue

To the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change.

Eckhart Tolle

Well, you have the public not wanting any new spending, you have the Republicans not wanting any new taxes, you have the Democrats not wanting any new spending cuts, you have the markets not wanting any new borrowing, and you have the economists wanting all of the above. And that leads to paralysis.

Michael Bloomberg

I think this is when most people give up on their stories. They come out of college wanting to change the world, wanting to get married, wanting to have kids and change the way people buy office supplies. But they get into the middle and discover it was harder than they thought. They can't see the distant shore anymore, and they wonder if their paddling is moving them forward. None of the trees behind them are getting smaller and none of the trees ahead are getting bigger. They take it out on their spouses, and they go looking for an easier story.

Donald Miller

Contentment is wanting what you have. Ambition is wanting what another has. Progress comes from wanting what nobody has.

Bob Lewis

I don't know that I ever wanted greatness, on its own. It seems rather like wanting to be an engineer, rather than wanting to design something--or wanting to be a writer, rather than wanting to write. It should be a by-product, not a thing in itself. Otherwise, it's just an ego trip.

Roger Zelazny

I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.

Barack Obama

It's unusual when you get scripts not wanting to change things - I'm one of those actors who writers must hate as I'm always wanting to rewrite or swap bits about.

Denis Lawson

I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio.

Frank Rich

Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.

Gerald Jampolsky

I think that's all a form of wanting to let go, of wanting to get out... It's not something easily described or understood.

Marilyn Manson

Hope is wanting something so eagerly that-in spite of all the evidence that you're not going to get it-you go right on wanting it.

Norman Vincent Peale

Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside.

Eckhart Tolle
