insatiability
Never being satisfied
Insatiability is the quality of being impossible to satisfy.
The word applies to appetites, desires, or needs that persist no matter how much is given: His insatiability for praise exhausted everyone around him.
It suggests something bottomless or compulsive—hunger that feeding only intensifies.
