As pills that are outwardly fair, gilt, and rolled in sugar, but within are full of bitterness, even so lustful pleasure is no sooner hatched but remorse is at hand, ready to supplant her. - Daniel Cawdray
Beware of lust; it corrupteth both the body and the mind. - Zoroaster
I don't know why people are afraid of lust. Then I can imagine that they are very afraid of me, for I have a great lust for everything. A lust for life, a lust for how the summer-heated street feels beneath my feet, a lust for the touch of another's skin on my skin ... a lust for everything. I even lust after cake. Yes, I am very lusty and very scary. - C. Joybell C.
Lust has less logic than love, sometimes, but it's easier to fight. - Laurel K. Hamilton
Lust hath these three companions: the first, blindness of understanding; the second, hardness of heart; the third, want of grace. - St. Basil
Lust is a desire against reason, a furious and unbridled appetite, which killeth all good notions in man's mind, and leaveth no place for virtue. - Thomas Jevon
Lust is inseparably accompanied with the troubling of all order, with impudence, unseemliness, sloth, and dissoluteness. - Plato
Lust is never satisfied, any more than fire is satisfied with fuel, or the main ocean with receiving the rivers, or the empire of death with the dying of men and animals. - W. Alexander
Lust is the base of most physical ills, and like a tapeworm in the system, it feeds on our best energies and vitality. - J. Usher
Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst. - Frederick Buechnere
Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ... ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust. - Marquis de Sade
Lust may be in the heart, though it be not seen by others; as guests may be in the house, though they look not out at the windows. - B. Holyday
Lust weakens both body and mind. - Pythagoras
Lust, forgetful of future suffering, hurries us along the forbidden path. - Claudian
Lust-bred diseases rot thee. - John Donne
Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes. - Marquis de Sade
Nature is content with little; grace with less; lust with nothing. - Mathew Henry
People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterwards repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before. Your desire for the illusory is a wing, by means of which a seeker might ascend to Reality. When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame and that fantasy flees. Preserve the wing and don't indulge such lust, so that the wing of desire may bear you to Paradise. People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion. - Jalaluddin Rumi
Wickedness is nourished by lust. - Aristotle
