Every human being can desire,
and desire, and desire still more,
until that desire tears away the veil
of appearances covering his eyes,
and he can finally see his essence.
Then he will be able to see
the abstract substance of life.
For all essence is the abstract substance of life.

-Khalil Gibran

And on the theme of... interesting human bodies.
