We are all so crazy about desire, we want to fulfil ourselves through desire. But we do not see what havoc it creates in the world—the desire for individual security, for individual attainment, success, power, prestige. We do not feel that we are totally responsible for everything we do. If one understands desire, the nature of it, then what place has it? Has it any place where there is love?

– Krishnamurti, The Network of Thought, p 49
