Utopia
“Some, as I did, sink into a torpor and think of how to “shed the burden of time”. Deep inside they often cherish the mad hope of surviving to a future in which they will recover their lost selves - something that will be possible only when true values have come into their own again. Their whole life consists of waiting for the first glimpse of a promised land, like a radiant shoreline on the horizon. Even though no such thing has ever existed on our planet, and never will, they have no eyes for anything else.”
- Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope Abandoned
