There is no way I can avoid thinking about the kind of world I belong to. The abuse of utopias disfigures everything.

About This Quote

A utopia is an ideal place. It is a land where everything is perfect. The word comes from the Greek word "ou-topos," which means "no place." ("Utopos" means that something is without place or any fixed position.) Utopias are described in many different ways, but they are almost always imagined to be an ideal society, one in which the principles of fairness, equality, justice, freedom, and so on are applied perfectly. The idea of utopia has been around since ancient times, with people imagining societies in which crime is nonexistent or never occurs.
