I nothing had, and yet enough for youth--Joy in Illusion, ardent thirst for Truth. Give unrestrained, the old emotion, The bliss that touched the verge of pain, The strength of Hate, Love's deep devotion,--O, give me back my youth again!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Genius inspires this thirst for fame: there is no blessing undesired by those to whom Heaven gave the means of winning it.

Madame de Stael

Love is not a feeling to pass away Like the balmy breath of a Summer's day....... Love is not a passion of earthly mould As a thirst for honour, or fame, or gold

Charles Dickens

Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?

Khalil Gibran

I simply adore being alone - I find it a consuming thirst - and when that thirst is slaked, then I am happy.

May Sarton

The thirst after fame is greater than that after virtue; for who embraces virtue if you take away its rewards?

Juvenal

If we wish to quench our thirst, we must lay aside books which explain thirst and take a drink.

Jean-Pierre de Caussade

The aspiring youth that fired the Ephesian domeOutlives in fame the pious fool that rais'd it.

Colley Cibber

I want that Sinatra type of fame. It's not the 'Whoever's the hot pop star at the moment' fame. It's the 'Walk into a room and everybody just kind of politely nods their heads' fame. Sinatra fame.

Jerrod Carmichael

It is terrible to die of thirst in the ocean. Do you have to salt your truth so heavily that it does not even-quench thirst any more?

Friedrich Nietzsche

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; Youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; Youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. Youth is full sport, age's breath is short; Youth is nimble, age is lame; Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; Youth is wild, age is tame. Age, I do abhor thee; youth, I do adore thee.

William Shakespeare

I've kind of touched on the youth generation, what the concept of fame, what does it actually, really mean.

V V Brown

I see a kind of thirst in her expression, the same one I saw when she told me about her brother in the back room of the tattoo parlor. Before the attack simulation I might have called it a thirst for justice, or even revenge, but now I am able to identify it as a thirst for blood. And even as it frightens me, I understand it. Which should probably frighten me even more.

Veronica Roth

Every natural longing has its natural satisfaction. If we thirst, God has created liquids to gratify thirst. If we are susceptible of attachment, there are beings to gratify that love. If we thirst for life and love eternal, it is likely that there are an eternal life and an eternal love to satisfy that craving.
