Lust For Life
QNE of the major pleasures in life is appetite, and I think one of our major duties should be to preserve it. Appetite is the keenness of living; it is one of the senses that tells you that you are still curious to exist, and that you still have an edge on your longings and want to bite into the world and taste its multitudinous flavours and juices. By appetite, of course, I don’t mean just the lust for food, but any condition of unsatisfied desire, any burning in the blood that proves that you haven’t yet used up your life.—Laurie Lee,, a British writer, speaking in the 8.8. C. “Woman’s Hour.”
