Unmet Desires Quotes

“Unmet desires are the source of most of the conflict and many of the struggles in our lives. When we don’t get what we want, or when and how we want it, life can get pretty ugly.”
― Kurt W. Bubna, Epic Grace: Chronicles of a Recovering Idiot

“Reich described the redirection of unmet desires as sublimation, in which natural libidinal urges and raw bodily drives for connection and release transform into abstract spiritual ideals. For him, such ideals suppress rather than liberate.”
― Laurence Galian, Crossing the Forbidden Highway: The Untold Story of Orgone, Body Therapy, and Suppressed Emotion
