According to Aquinas, the passions "'are not virtuous by a simple obediential subordination [(subordination obédientielle)] or by a simple habit [(accoutumance)], as Bonaventure would if pressed [(à la rigueur)] concede, but by an intimate penetration, thanks to which the mind is at home in the feelings [(l'esprit est chez lui dans les sensibilités)].'"

Chenu, "Les passions vertueuses: l'anthropologie de saint Thomas," Revue philosophique de Louvain 72 (1974): 16 (11-18), as quoted by Thomas Prügl, in "TRISTITIA: zur Theologie der passiones animae bei Thomas von Aquin," in Die Einheit der Person: Beiträge zur Anthropologie des Mittelalters, ed. Martin Thurner (Stuttgart: Verlag W. Kohlhammer, 1998), 152n43 (141-156).
