Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Quote

What the English call comfortable is something endless and inexhaustible. Every condition of comfort reveals in turn its discomfort, and these discoveries go on for ever. Hence the new want is not so much a want of those who have it directly, but is created by those who hope to make profit from it.

S. Dyde, trans. (1896), § 191 - Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1820)
