“There's no prayer like desire.”
“Hope is really just desire disguised, just desperation, aching, dressed up like a prayer.”
“Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. Your desire is your prayer. It comes out of your deepest needs and it reveals the things you want in life.”
“Prayer bends the omnipotence of heaven to your desire. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.”
“A culture that does not teach prayer soon runs mad with desire.”
“There's a chasm between envy and desire. Envy is like wanting something that's not yours. But desire is different. Desire comes out of wanting what is yours, and still wanting it even if it's not yet there, but it's not envy.”
