Utopian Quotes - Page 4

• Piense en ello. Hemos sido bendecidos con una tecnología que sería indescriptible para nuestros antepasados. Tenemos los medios, los conocimientos para alimentar a todo el mundo, vestir a todo el mundo y dar una oportunidad a todos los seres humanos de la Tierra. Ahora sabemos lo que nunca antes podríamos haber sabido: que ahora tenemos la opción de que toda la humanidad tenga éxito en este planeta en esta vida. Que sea Utopía u Olvido será una carrera de relevos hasta el momento final.

• There is this thing called the university, and everybody goes there now. And there are these things called teachers who make students read this book with good ideas or that book with good ideas until that's where we get our ideas. We don't think them; we read them in books. I like Utopian talk, speculation about what our planet should be, anger about what our planet is. I think writers are the most important members of society, not just potentially but actually. Good writers must have and stand by their own ideas.

• To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss.

• The designs of the paper euros, introduced in 2002, proclaim a utopian aspiration. Gone are the colorful bills of particular nations, featuring pictures of national heroes of statecraft, culture and the arts, pictures celebrating unique national narratives. With the euro, 16 nations have said goodbye to all that.

• President Obama is a utopian at heart. He wants to improve the lives of the downtrodden, which is a good thing. But, he doesn't understand that damaging the free marketplace in pursuit of 'social justice' will eventually harm those whom he wants to help. The nation's crushing debt is a tsunami brewing off shore.

• But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is is good kind and the bad. Without the good kind- less flavor to life. Van Gogh, Beethoven, Edgar Allen Poe, Sylvia Plath, Pink Floyd (the early Piper at the Gates of Dawn line up), scientific breakthroughs, spiritual revolution, utopian visions, zany nationalism that kills millions- wait, that’s the bad kind.

• Los sistemas de diseño universales ya no pueden descartarse como las irrelevantes elucubraciones de una pequeña y localizada comunidad de diseñadores. Ha surgido un segundo modernismo que revitaliza la búsqueda utópica de formas universales que marcó el nacimiento del diseño como discurso y disciplina casi un siglo antes.

• My husband is not American. He was born in Brazil, where he grew up under a filthy, corrupt dictatorship.

• Without the Utopians of other times, men would still live in caves, miserable and naked. It was Utopians who traced the lines of the first City.....Out of generous dreams come beneficial realities. Utopia is the principle of all progress, and the essay into a better future.

• En el lado conservador, el libertarismo actual es mucho más dogmático y carente de cualificación que el liberalismo de Adam Smith o J.S. Mill. Al igual que el marxismo, el libertarismo es una cosmovisión utópica basada en una visión económico-determinista de la historia. A diferencia del marxismo, el libertarismo es muy específico en sus predicciones sobre la transición al orden mundial utópico, lo que lo hace vulnerable a los hechos.

• I don't know of any other form of life that gathers up all the food it needs in the first two-thirds of its life in order to do nothing in its last third of life. In a utopian presentist society, instead of working extra hard to put money in the bank, you'd be working to provide value for the people around you.

• Intento analizar la evolución de estas pretensiones utópicas. A finales de los años 60 se suponía que la riqueza generada por la industria se gravaría con impuestos y se destinaría a programas sociales, lo que proporcionaría una base de estabilidad que permitiría a la gente tener tiempo para expresarse.

• Recordemos los sueños utópicos del siglo pasado, o incluso del siglo anterior, en los que la gente pensaba que las máquinas acabarían por darnos una calidad de vida en la que nuestras necesidades estarían cubiertas para que todos pudiéramos ser básicamente artistas juntos por la noche, después de haber pescado, cazado, criado ganado... o lo que Marx imaginara para nosotros.

• I was really interested in 20th century communalism and alternative communities, the boom of communes in the 60s and 70s. That led me back to the 19th century. I was shocked to find what I would describe as far more utopian ideas in the 19th century than in the 20th century. Not only were the ideas so extreme, but surprising people were adopting them.

• The Oneida Perfectionists, along with some of the others, believed that feminism, and abolitionism, and other causes that they pursued in their own way without participating with other people outside of their communities, were all piecemeal reforms. That's what makes a utopian a utopian, this idea that they were going to create a whole new world from scratch.
