Books cannot always please, however good.
Minds are not ever craving for their food. [ Crabbe ]

Men are but children of a larger growth;
Our appetites are apt to change as theirs,
And full as craving, too, and full as vain. [ Dryden ]

The craving for a delicate fruit is pleasanter than the fruit itself. [ Herder ]

Covetousness is a sort of mental gluttony, not confined to money, but craving honor, and feeding on selfishness. [ Cham fort ]

Wanting to have a friend is altogether different from wanting to be a friend. The former is a mere natural human craving, the latter is the life of Christ in the soul. [ J. R. Miller ]

Weakness can never be beautiful, either morally or physically: and though the feminine type may possess greater softness and more feeling, it must be active, firm, and healthy, or it cannot be beautiful; the weak mind, distracted by alternations of feeling, and constant craving for help and sympathy from others, cannot at the same time possess that tenderness and unselfish devotion which is the loveliest trait of the female character. [ M. Martell ]
