Eric Hoffer IS BRILLIANT

“People unfit for freedom — who cannot do much with it —
are hungry for power. The desire for freedom is an attribute
of a “have” type of self. It says: leave me alone and I shall grow,
learn, and realize my capacities. The desire for power is basically
an attribute of a “have not” type of self.”
— Eric Hoffer
(1902-1983) American author, philosopher, awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom
