      Voorbeeldzinnen

      1. I yearn for victory.
      2. People everywhere yearn for public leaders dedicated to world peace.
      3. Man has many wishes that he does not really wish to fulfil, and it would be a misunderstanding to suppose the contrary. He wants them to remain wishes, they have value only in his imagination; their fulfilment would be a bitter disappointment to him. Such a desire is the desire for eternal life. If it were fulfilled, man would become thoroughly sick of living eternally, and yearn for death.
