​”…Once you’ve cracked someone’s desires, you understand them in full.” -Arianne Cohen 

Thomas Hobbes asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all action. Desire is so much more than titillation and proclivities; it is the hope and assertion for something more. By exploring desire we gain a better understanding of humanity.
