« `...` many people only really feel happy and satisfied with those who are inferior to them in some way, perhaps intellectually, socially, or even morally. These inferiors are the ones they really need and depend on in life. These people, who need to match with inferiors, are naturally the opposite of snobs, but basically these two types of individuals seek the same in a different way. Both need reassurance, they need to be assured that they are neither poor, miserable nor empty, that they are worthy of esteem and love. »

« Splitting a good thing into several pieces reduces the danger of frustration, deprivation, and the risk that our own greed or cruelty will destroy and ruin the good thing or loved one to whom we value. »
