A man's delight in looking forward to and hoping for some particular satisfaction is a part of the pleasure flowing out of it, enjoyed in advance. But this is afterward deducted, for the more we look forward to anything the less we enjoy it when it comes.

  • -- Arthur Schopenhauer 亚瑟·叔本华

一个人在期待和期待某种特别的满足时所表现出来的快乐,是他事先享受到的快乐的一部分。但这是后来扣除的,因为我们越期待任何事情,当它来的时候,我们就越不喜欢它。
