“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

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
― Mark Twain

― Ludwig Wittgenstein

“I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”
