A Quote by Karl Marx

Misery motivates, not utopia. — © Karl Marx
Misery motivates, not utopia.
A utopia cannot, by de?nition, include boredom, but the 'utopia' we are living in is boring.
The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.
In a utopia you want to win matches by several goals and by playing a wonderful brand of football. But that's utopia.
Its important to know what motivates you, not what motivates somebody else.
It's important to know what motivates you, not what motivates somebody else.
What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now.

It is this breathtaking image [of] success that motivates us and motivates kids to follow and understand rocket science: to understand the importance of physics and math and, in many ways, to have that awe at exploration of the frontiers of the unknown.
No Utopia is Utopia for everyone
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
I'm increasingly realising our consciousness and subconsciousness are extremely different, and our subconsciousness motivates us, but so far, I don't know what drove or motivates me.
