I love those who yearn for the impossible.

A happy life is one spent in learning earning and yearning.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning earning and yearning.

When suffering comes we yearn for some sign from God forgetting we have just had one.

Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been but what we yearn to be.

Yet it ought to be obvious that good music generally occupies a higher plane that mere politics. Great writers can express moods through melody and capture experiences we share most powerfully - love lust longing joy rage fear triumph yearning and confusion.

'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.

Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people different beliefs different yearnings different hopes different dreams.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.
