About This Quote
You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy. If you do, they'll tell you they want a sandwich. If you ask a person who is hungry what they want, they'll say a sandwich. People who are really hungry say no to the sandwich and demand the food.
They're not hoping for a sandwich; they're hoping for a solution to their hunger. What's the answer? The answer is the sandwich.
