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.

We have to say to ourselves, How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?

Education is all paint - it does not alter the nature of the wood that lies under it, it only improves its appearance a little. Why I dislike education so much is, that it makes all people alike, until you have examined into them; and it sometimes is so long before you get to see under the varnish!
