keen to achieve, once accomplished, in a matter of few days begin to pinch you
like a thorn.

Quotations
Desire
Rituals that are performed with the desire of attaining salvation also help a man to achieve growth and progress in this world.
-Vedas "Sam Veda"
Of all longings and desires, there is none stronger than sex. Sex as a desire has no equal. Rely on the Oneness. No one under heaven is able to become a follower of the Way if he accepts dualism.
-Scriptures "Buddhism, Sutra of Forty-two"
"Desire" has a very unique quality. You will never get anything that you desire.
If you do not believe, then peep into your life, you will realize that you never got
what you desired and what you got, you had never desired.
-Deep Trivedi
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments.

The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
-Deep Trivedi
Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore, one should learn contentment.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
