"Men have physical needs, and they have emotions.……" — Bertrand Russell
"Men have physical needs, and they have emotions. While physical needs are unsatisfied, they take first place; but when they are satisfied, emotions unconnected with them become important in deciding whether a man is to be happy or unhappy."
