For it is said that humans are never satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want something more. And this is said in disparagement, whereas it is one of the greatest talents the species has and one that has made it superior to animals that are satisfied with what they have. John Steinbeck
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread.
