It’s so much better to desire than to have.

Meaning of the quote

It's better to want something than to actually get it. When you really want something, you get excited and can imagine all the wonderful things about it. But once you have it, the excitement goes away and you might feel disappointed. Wanting and dreaming about things can be more fun and satisfying than actually getting them.
