Desire
Vronsky meanwhile, despite the full realization of what he had desired for so long, was not fully happy. He soon felt that the realization of his desires had given him only a grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. It showed him the eternal error people make in imagining that happiness is the realization of desires…He soon felt arise in his soul a desire for desires, an anguish.
-Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (465)
