1568. For the sake of distinctions, to crave, or have an appetite for, applies to the body; to want, or have a passion for, pertains to the lower mind; to desire, or have a longing for, pertains to the inward, reasoning mind; but to will pertains to the very inward mind, while to be moved [or have an affection for], although this is used in several connections, can nevertheless strictly be applied to the innermost qualities. 1748, 20 March.
