Lust has its own country still.
In which all lovers long to lie,
A land where each green-breasted hill.
Touches the blue ecstatic sky.

Love is substance; Lust, illusion. Only in the surge of passion do the two mingle in confusion. Calvin Miller

Jealousy is a passion that passionately seeks what causes pain

SHIT POEM
by JAS H. DUKE
I’m in the shit business
I work for the sewerage department
I analyse experiments
I draw graphs and flow charts
and conclusions
today I was sitting at my desk
trying to explain
the dissolved air flotation process
where streams of little bubbles are released
into a tank full of sewerage
to float the suspended solids up to the surface
to be skimmed off
but what I was really thinking about
was lunchtime
The bottom line is that we never fall for the people we’re supposed to.”
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
You can’t love someone just by looking at them. That is lust. Not saying love can’t come fast, but it doesn’t come first.”
― Teresa Mummert
Beauty’s sister is vanity, and it’s daughter lust. Russian
“A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Pride, anger, gluttony, and idleness are sometimes conquered, but the conversion of a malicious and envious mind is a kind of miracle.

“He grinned. “I was trying to remember all the deadly sins the other day,” he said. “Greed,envy, gluttony, irony, pedantry…”
“I’m pretty sure irony isn’t a deadly sin.”
“I’m pretty sure it is.”
“Lust,” she said. “Lust is a deadly sin.”
“And spanking.”
“I think that falls under lust.”
“I think it should have its own category,” said Jace. “Greed, envy, gluttony, irony, pedantry, lust, and spanking.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls
Greed is a fat demon with a small mouth and whatever you feed it is never enough.

“Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed”
― Bhagavad Gita
“No man is rich enough to buy back his past.” Oscar Wilde
“Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell,’ Holly advised him. ‘That was Doc’s mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky."
"She’s drunk," Joe Bell informed me.
"Moderately," Holly confessed….Holly lifted her martini. "Let’s wish the Doc luck, too," she said, touching her glass against mine. "Good luck: and believe me, dearest Doc — it’s better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear.”
Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s
We build too many walls and not enough bridges. Isaac Newton

Learn to be The unmingling River, flowing through the sea Of this World’s brackish waters. Thou too, keep Thy course unbroken ‘mid the briny deep Of all its lures, its lusts and vanity.
