Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.
美国哲学家
埃里克·霍弗(Eric Hoffer,1902—1983)的一生十分传奇,父母早逝,靠自学成就学问。长年从事码头搬运工作,1964年成为加州伯克利大学高级研究员后,仍未离开码头,其许多观念都是在码头工作中形成,因此他也被称为“码头工人哲学家”。
