40 Wants Quotes About The Things We Deeply Desire

Wants

A wise person once said that the heart wants what it wants. That is a most true and relevant saying. People have different tastes and they are drawn to varying things. What speaks to your heart may not speak to the person next to you. What tickles your fancy could look very weird to someone else.

We all have different wants and desires. Some people are more comfortable with less but others prefer more. That's usually because of their upbringing. Some people grow up with more compared to others which makes their wants vary greatly.

Even if you are siblings, your wants will be different. Each person is unique in the things they like and their paths in life. Everyone follows their own distinct path and that makes them move in different directions. While one sibling wants to pursue a certain career, the other could choose something totally different.

Our wants make us who we are. They lead us to the things we need and the directions we should head to. Wants make us stand out from the crowd. Our dreams and goals are motivated by what we want. Whether you want to be a great designer, a famous singer, the best mum in the world, or simply a kinder person, all that is inspired by your innermost desires.

We should respect each other's personal choices and wants. You cannot expect everyone to crave similar things as you or want for themselves what you want for yourself. Whether the person is your child, sibling, partner, friend, or a stranger, let them be who they are inside and go after what they want freely.

And because we want you to be true to your desires too, here is a curated collection of ‘wants' quotes that are all about wants and everything in between. Read along!

No. That’s not what I wanted you to say. That’s not it at all. What am I supposed to do when you say something like that to me? What am I, a “mistake”, supposed to do? Where should I go?

But Haru…he did want me. They told me they didn’t need me, but there is someone who wanted me. That made me happy. Nothing could have made me happier. I was happy. Thank you. I was glad. But this is enough. Enough, Haru. Next time Haru, you have to be happy. So I’ll release you from me, from Akito, from everything that ties you down. I want to set you free. You know, Haru, your true “happiness” is in a bigger world. I’ll search for it. I’ll find it. Because I’m okay, even if it ends with nothing left in my hands.

If you're like most people, you've always wanted something better for your life - it's really how we are designed - we're supposed to want improvement, and we're designed to climb upward.
