"When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off;you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. People fancy they are enjoying themselves,but they are really tearing out their wingsfor the sake of an illusion."

Their wants, demands, expectations, appetites are never satiated, thus they refuse to be happy. And you cannot make them so."
