他说:“人和其他动物的区别在哪里?在我身旁游走的每个野兽,和我一样都有肉体上的需要:饿了吃草,渴了喝溪水,充饥解渴后将满足地睡去;醒来又饿了,再吃饱休息。我和它一样也会饥渴,但不渴也不饿时,我不休息;我也像它一样因需求匮乏而痛苦,但不像它因需求丰裕而满足。中间这个阶段,冗长而又乏味;我又开始渴望饥饿,好再次唤醒自己的注意。鸟儿啄食着浆果或谷物,好像非常快乐地飞到树丛中,停靠在树枝上,并且百无聊赖地吟唱着一成不变的曲调。同样地,我也能叫来琵琶手和歌手,但昨天还能使我愉悦的乐章,今天却令我厌烦,明天变得更令人厌倦。我从自身发现,没有一种感受力不是被适度愉悦充满的,但是我不觉得自己快乐。确实,人类有某种潜在的感觉,会告知自己这个地方不能令人愉悦,或者,在快乐之前,他有一些有别于感觉的渴望,必须先得到满足。”
