“Let us disobey the petrification of our mind before toxic thoughts transform our life into a matrix of numbers and columns and kills the bounciness of our drives, catching our future off guard. ("Digging for white gold")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“The continuation of man’s life is more attributable to his fear of death than it is to his desire to live. As a matter of fact, in countless cases, it is attributable to only the former.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Even those who want to go to heaven would rather kill than be killed.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Starting in a hollowed log of wood â€� some thousand miles up a river, with an infinitesimal prospect of returning! I ask myself 'Why?' and the only echo is 'damned fool!... the Devil drives.”
― Sir Richard Francis Burton

“Create or arouse such unbridled forces and you built carnal fantasies of enormous complexity. You could lead whole populations around by their desires, by their fantasy projections.”
― Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

“All who seek to be nobler than their constitution permits succumb to neurosis; they would have been better in health if they had found it possible to be morally worse.”
― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“To do a mundane thing with style is what drives artistes to create art!”
― Avijeet Das

“What you focus upon comes to drive your reality.”
― Steven Redhead, Life Is a Dance

“The most obvious difference between a drive and love concerns the object, which should no longer be referred to as an object. In contrast with the drive where the object can always be exchanged as an unimportant means to an end, in the case of love, everything turns upon this one irreplaceable other.”
― Paul Verheage

“The field of drives that are autoerotic, partial and solely focused on pleasure is a different field from that of love which is total, reciprocal and focused particularly on the other's desire.”
― Paul Verheage

“From the point of view of the partial drive, this other person is always a means, and he/she never becomes a goal in him/herself. In pragmatic terms, this suggests that the drive does not require a person as a subject in any way. The movement of the partial impulse is that of an arc, a boomerang, that passes over the other person, returns to itself, and closes in on itself, creating a totality, a completed action, self- gratification”
― Paul Verhaeghe, Love in a Time of Loneliness

“Therefore the goal of the partial drive is not the other person, the goal is to achieve a particular form of gratification. In this respect, the other person is actually superfluous as a subject and can sometimes even be an obstacle to pleasure. He or she serves as an object—and actually as a partial object—a means of achieving a goal.”
― Paul Verhaeghe, Love in a Time of Loneliness

“Were all beings just a thin skin of volition floating on a sea of drives and directives they could not control?”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Spiderlight

“The brain drives on electromagnetic radiation.”
― Steven Magee

“Pollution drives gender changing.”
