Longing
“There’s a magic in the sense of longing.”
From “The Haunted”
“The Haunted,” is one of those movies that is less than a blockbuster. Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale went on to stardom in spite of it, not because of it. But it had a couple of redeeming points and this quote was one of them. 
Longing is one of the most painful, yet delicious feelings that a person can experience. It empties out a person completely and flows in like the tide, filling up the soul, like the seawater fills up the pockets in the sand. Longing is all encompassing.
Nothing else can exist simultaneously with longing.
“It seems to me we can never give up longing And wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, And we must hunger after them.”
George Eliot
“There is a third dimension to traveling, the longing for what is beyond.”
Jan Myrdal
“A feeling of sadness and longing that is not akin to pain, and resembles sorrow only as the mist resembles the rain.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
