SD 1568 - craving, etc.

SD 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.
(March 20, 1748)
