“Secondly, that what is commonly called love, namely, the desire of satisfying a voracious appetite with a certain quantity of delicate white human flesh, is by no means that passion for which I here contend. This is indeed more properly hunger; and as no glutton is ashamed to apply the word love to his appetite, and to say he LOVES such and such dishes; so may the lover of this kind, with equal propriety, say, he HUNGERS after such and such women.”
(Henry Fielding: History of Tom Jones, a Foundling) ((The quote appears shortly and fractured in the 3. episode of Outlander Season 6 , when Tom Christie reads the book Claire borrowed him))
