Hunger And Thirst

John Ruskin Art Critic, Writer

"The true end of education is not only to make the young learned, but to make them love learning; not only to make them industrious, but to make them love industry; not only to make them virtuous, but to make them love virtue; not only to make them just, but to make them hunger and thirst after justice."

Saint Augustine Theologian, Philosopher

"Late have I loved you, O beauty ever ancient, ever new. Late have I loved you. You have called to me, and have called out, and have shattered my deafness. You have blazed forth with light and have put my blindness to flight! You have sent forth fragrance, and I have drawn in my breath, and I pant after you. I have tasted you, and I hunger and thirst after you. You have touched me, and I have burned for your peace."

Thomas Jefferson Politician, Founding Father

"Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold."

Khalil Gibran Poet, Writer

"It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling."
