Quotes
“Utopia lies at the horizon. When I draw nearer by two steps, it retreats two steps. If I proceed ten steps forward, it swiftly slips ten steps ahead. No matter how far I go, I can never reach it. What, then, is the purpose of utopia? It is to cause us to advance.” - Eduardo Galeano
“Utopia is not a place of true happiness, it is a place of true humanity.” - Marge Piercy
“But in Utopia, where every man has a right to everything, they all know that if care is taken to keep the public stores full, no private man can want anything; for among them there is no unequal distribution so equal care is taken of every man's necessities that there is no need for them to have anything of their own, they are only asked to take what they need.” - Thomas More
