..... murder is not just a crime of lust or violence. It becomes possession. They are part of you ... [the victim] becomes a part of you, and you [two] are forever one ... and the grounds where you kill them or leave them become sacred to you, and you will always be drawn back to them. (Ted Bundy)
The whole economic system of Capitalism is an offshoot of a devouring and overwhelming lust, of a kind that can hold sway only in a society that has deliberately renounced the Christian asceticism and turned away from Heaven to give itself over exclusively to earthly gratifications. ... It is the result of a secularization of economic life, and by it the hierarchical subordination of the material to the spiritual is inverted. The autonomy of economics has ended in their dominating the whole life of human societies: the worship of Mammon has become the determining force of the age. And the worst of it is that this undisguised "mammonism” is regarded as a very good thing, an attainment to the knowledge of truth and a release from illusions. Economic materialism formulates this to perfection when it brands the whole spiritual life of man as a deception and a dream. View quote
Nikolai Berdyaev
So she prays for a prankster and lust in the marriage bed And he waits till she can give And he waits and he waits. View quote
Tori Amos
In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe. View quote
Tori Amos

George W. Bush
He was sick with lust and mesmerized with regret. View quote
Joseph Heller
Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense. View quote
William Penn
All things are hush'd, as Nature's self lay dead, The Mountains seem to nod their drowsy head; The little Birds in dreams their Songs repeat, And sleeping Flowers, beneath the night-dew sweat; Even Lust and Envy sleep. View quote
John Dryden
Because of his social position there are left no limits to the power lust of the modern capitalist. He can interfere with inconsiderate egoism in the lives of his fellowmen and play the part of Providence for others. Only when we take into consideration this passionate urge for political power over their own people as well as over foreign nations are we able really to understand the character of the typical representatives of modern capitalism. It is just this trait which makes them so dangerous to the social structure of the future. (Rudolf Rocker)
Men of unlimited means live lives of unbridled lust, and then, in their old age, they are helpless victims of their own impulses. View quote
Upton Sinclair
This damnable sex, boys - ah, you do well to writhe in your beds at the very mention of the word. All the evil of our modern times springs from unholy lust, the act of the dog and the bitch on the bouncing bed, limbs going like traction engines, the divine gift of articulate speech diminished to squeals and groans and pantings. It is terrible, terrible, an abomination before God and His Holy Mother. Lust is the fount of all other of the deadly sins, leading to pride of the flesh, covetousness of the flesh, anger in the thwarting of desire, gluttony to feed the spent body to be at it again, envy of the sexual prowess and sexual success of others, sloth to admit enervating day-dreams of lust. Only in the married state, by God's holy grace, is it sanctified, for then it becomes the means of begetting fresh souls for the peopling of the Kingdom of Heaven. View quote
Anthony Burgess
the description of lust was simple: two people learn they're compatible, attraction grows, and the ancient instinct to preserve the species kicks in. View quote
Nicholas Sparks
Only a fool loves war. Or a man who has never seen it. The trouble is that the survivors forget about the horrors and remember only the battle lust. They pass on that memory, and other men hunger for it. View quote
David Gemmell
A man can be aroused to anger as easily as he is aroused to rut. The two emotions are closely linked. Anger and lust. So the warrior is aroused in battle and fights to dominate. View quote
David Gemmell
Yes, love [...] can heal the wounds of hatred. Love can eradicate lust and greed. Through love a man of evil can come to find repentance and redemption. For the Source abandons no man. View quote
David Gemmell
Do you remember when you were young, and you'd stare at someone on-stage and think ‘Oh my God-he looked right at me?' I do, so I have this kind of rescue-fantasy thing. When I see kids in the audience I think, ‘Okay, that's me, and it would be kind of cool if the person on-stage would come down and save me.' I'm not going to be able to save every one of them, but I'll do my best, because I genuinely like kids. If I didn't have my lust for my art, I probably would have ended up working with them. View quote
Courtney Love

Jeanette Winterson

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. (Cassandra Clare)
I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do - and I have done it - and God forgives me for it." View quote
Jimmy Carter
If lust and hate is the candy if blood and love tastes so sweet then we give 'em what they want Hey, hey, give 'em what they want. View quote
Natalie Merchant
Why is it that everything I eat when I'm with you is so delicious?' I laughed. ‘Could it be that you're satisfying hunger and lust at the same time? View quote
Banana Yoshimoto
Love is lust made meaningful. Hope is hunger made human. View quote
