Eric Hoffer Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: July 25, 1902 - May 21, 1983
Birthday: July 25
Death: May 21
The chief burden of the frustrated is the consciousness of a blemished, ineffectual self, and their chief desire is to slough off the unwanted self and begin a new life. They try to realize this desire either by finding a new identity or by blurring and camouflaging their individual distinctness; and both these ends are reached by imitation.
