Passions in Economy, Politics, and the Media: In Discussion with Christian TheologyWolfgang Palaver, Petra Steinmair-Pösel LIT Verlag Münster, 2005 - 524 стор.

Сторінка 154 - Nor can a man any more live whose desires are at an end than he whose senses and imaginations are at a stand. Felicity is a continual progress of the desire from one object to another, the attaining of the former being still but the way to the latter.
Сторінка 16 - Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries, They say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo! If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully: Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
