伯特兰·罗素（Bertrand Russell 1872－1970） 罗素是20世纪声誉卓著、影响深远的思想家之一.在其漫长的一生中,完成了40余部著作,涉及哲学、数学、科学、论理学、社会学、教育、历史、宗教及政治等各个领域,对西方哲学产生了深刻影响.1950年获诺贝尔文学奖. 名言：生活中不是没有美,而是缺少发现没的眼睛.On Human Nature and Politics 论人性和政治 Undoubtedly the desire for food has been, and still is ,one of the main causes of great political events. But man differs from other animals in one very important respect, and that is that he has desires which are , so to speak, intimate, which can never be fully gratified, and which should keep him restless even in Paradise. The boa constrictor, when he had an adequate meal, goes to sleep, and does not wake until he needs another meal. Human beings, for the most not part are not like this. When the Arabs, who had been used to living sparingly on a few dates acquired the riches of the Eastern Roman Empire and dwelt in palaces of almost unbelievable luxury, they did not, on that account, become inactive. Hunger could no longer be a motive, for Greek slaves supplied them with exquisite viands at the slightest nod. But other desires kept them active; four in particular , which we can label acquisitiveness , rivalry, vanity and love of power.毫无疑问,占有食物的欲望过去一直是,而且现在也仍然是导致重大政治事件的主要原因之一.而人不同于其他动物的一个重要方面在于人具有无止境的、永远无法满足的欲望,欲望使人即使到了天堂也会坐立不安.巨蟒饱食后就去睡觉,直到需要再进食时它才醒来,绝大部分人不像巨蟒那样.习惯于吃几个枣充饥的阿拉伯人没有因为获得了东罗马帝国的财富,稍一点头,希腊奴隶就会为他们端上最精美的食物,然而是其他欲望使他们行动起来,尤其是以下四种.可以称之为：占有欲,竞争欲、虚荣心、权力欲. Acquisitiveness-the wish to possess as much as possible of goods , or the title to goods-is a motive which, I suppose, has its origin in a combination of fear with the desire for necessaries.占有欲--希望尽可能多地占有财产或拥有财产的所有权--是一个动机.我认为该动机产生于恐惧心理和拥有必需品的欲望结合之中. I once befriended two little girls from Esthonia, who had narrowly escaped death from starvation in a famine. They lived in my family ,and of course had plenty to eat.But they spent all their leisure visiting neighbouring farms and stealing potatoes, which they hoarded . Rockfeller ,who in his infancy had experienced great poverty ,spent his adult life in a similar manner.Similarly the Arab chieftains on their silken Byzantine divans could not forget the desert ,and hoarded riches far beyond any possible physical need. But whatever the psychoanalysis of acquisitiveness, no one can deny that it is one of the great motives -especially among the more powerful, for ,as I said before, it is one of the infinite motives .However much you may acquire you will always wish to acquire more ;satiety is a dream which will always elude you.我曾经帮助过两个来自爱沙尼亚的小姑娘,她俩在一次饥荒中
