A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor
is bent by any prayers.
[Lat., Nec rationem patitur, nec aequitate mitigatur nec ulla
prece flectitur, populus esuriens.]
Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

They said they were anhungry; sighed forth proverbs--
That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat,
That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent not
Corn for the rich men only. With these shreds
They vented their complainings, which being answered
And a petition granted them, a strange one,
To break the heart of generosity,
And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps
As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon,
Shouting their emulation.
William Shakespeare

With this there grows
In my most ill-compos'd affection such
A stanchless avarice that, were I King,
I should cut off the nobles for their lands,
Desire his jewels, and this other's house,
And my more-having would be as a sauce
To make me hunger more, that I should forge
Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,
Destroying them for wealth.
William Shakespeare

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the
hunger for bread.
