About This Quote

Lust is insatiable, whether it feeds on power, wealth, or flesh. It eventually consumes our morality and ultimately consumes our humanity. Lust can be defined as an uncontrollable desire that makes you do something that you know is wrong. Lust can be said to be like a flame that feeds on fuel, like a fire that feeds on dead wood, like the hunger of the body. All these things are metaphors for our craving for worldly pleasures which later turn into craving for power, wealth or flesh.
