Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination.

A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.

Albert Einstein

Writers are the engineers of human souls.
