"Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive . In the middle category, however--that of the unnecessary but
undestructive, that of comfort, luxury, exuberance, etc.--they could perfectly well have
central heating, subway trains, washing machines, and all kinds of marvelous devices
not yet invented here, floating light-sources, fuelless power, a cure for the common cold." - Ursula Le Guin
