Likewise, the means for particularized needs, and, in general, the ways of their satisfaction, divide and multiply themselves — these means becoming, in turn, relative purposes and abstract needs — a multiplication proceeding into the infinite, which is, in just the same measure, a differentiation of these determinations and a judging of the suitability of the means to their purposes — refinement.

    What the English call comfortable is something altogether inexhaustible and proceeding into infinity, for every comfort in turn reveals its own discomfort, and these inventions never come to an end. A need is therefore produced not so much by those who have it in an immediate way, as rather by those who seek a profit through its arising.
