Eric Weiner Quotes
The word "utopia" has two meanings. It means both "good place" and "nowhere". That's the way it should be. The happiest places, I think, are the ones that reside just this side of paradise.

No man could bear it: It would be hell on earth," wrote George Bernard Shaw, in his play Man and Superman.
