“Encircled with craving, people hop 'round & around like a rabbit caught in a snare. Tied with fetters & bonds they go on to suffering, again & again, for long. Encircled with craving, people hop 'round & around like a rabbit caught in a snare. So a monk should dispel craving, should aspire to dispassion for himself.”
Dhammapada
translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
