I support Semilla and I think they do want to make a change, but I do n’t think the system will allow it, it seems utopian to think that we will have a candidate who is not involved in corruption and narcopolitics. – Loren Giordano	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
The groups Arnold funds peddle utopian pipe dreams under the guise of progressive reform, but the victims won't be billionaires like him. They'll disproportionately be poor people of color. – Scott Walter	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
John Arnold's millions have propped up many left-wing causes but none so dangerous as the woke justice movement that has decimated New York, the groups Arnold funds peddle utopian pipe dreams under the guise of progressive reform. – Scott Walter	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Eventually, the loss of troops, the loss of foreign investment, the loss of public support, the economic drain — all those are facts that he can't ignore indefinitely, but I think he's resisting that because he's living … in a world of slanted intelligence and illusions and utopian ideas about a return of the Russian Empire that will take some time to crumble away. And he's resisting it mightily, still trying to come up with that military victory, even as everyone else can see it grinding to a halt. – Robert English	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Apparently, there are no more victims' rights anywhere in New York City. If this keeps on going the way it’s going, eventually, this is all going to backfire, you cannot keep on disrespecting victims and their families because you think it’s going to be a better society or this utopian society. – Joseph Giacalone	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
From the utopian viewpoint, the United States constitution is a singularly hard-bitten and cautious document, for it breathes the spirit of skepticism about human altruism and incorporates a complex system of checks, balances and restrictions, so that everybody is holding the reins on everybody else. – Chad Walsh	added by Normando 4 years ago
Every culture and every religion of what we call the civilized world carries, in one form or another, a mythos or story about a time in the past or future when humans lived or will live in peace and harmony. Whether it's referred to as Valhalla or Eden, Shambala or 'A Thousand Years of Peace,' the Satya Yuga or Jannat, stories of past or coming times of paradise go hand-in-hand with hierarchical cultures. Such prophecies were clearly in the minds of America's Founders when they first discussed integrating Greek ideas of democracy, Roman notions of a republic, Masonic utopian ideals, and the Iroquois Federation's constitutionally organized egalitarian society, which was known to Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Franklin. The creation of the United States of America brought into the world a dramatic new experiment in how people could live together in a modern state. – Thom Hartmann	added by Normando 4 years ago
The idea of an Olympic legacy in terms of diminishing air pollution is Utopian. It is unimaginable that a few BRT routes will substantially change the quality of the air, for the Brazilians remaining in Rio after the Olympics have come and gone, there is no clean air legacy. – Paulo Saldiva	Found on Reuters 7 years ago
They're just the modern version of something that's always been around: utopian political system designers, they're obviously guys who are really focused on the tech thing and that has always been the problem with the e-democracy people. They're often really tech-driven and they need political scientists at the brainstorming floor to say 'well, I don't know if that'd work'. – Peter Chen	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
They are using federal housing money intended to improve the bad housing of poor Americans as the lever to force compliance with these new regulations, but that money is most needed in blighted, inner city urban neighborhoods, where there are a large number of African Americans. This federal utopian vision will divert that needed federal money into suburbs where it is not needed, leaving poor Americans living in substandard, terrible housing. – Von Spakovsky	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
We are at heart so profoundly anarchistic that the only form of state we can imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian. – Lionel Trilling	added by anonymous 10 years ago
The system -- the American one, at least -- is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports. Oh, it is a magnificent lore she learns, education for the mind beyond anything Jane Austen or Saint Theresa or even Mrs. Pankhurst ever dreamed. It is truly Utopian. But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet. – Phyllis McGinley	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian. – Emma Goldman	added by anonymous 10 years ago
In the modern world, in which thousands of people are dying every hour as a consequence of politics, no writing anywhere can begin to be credible unless it is informed by political awareness and principles. Writers who have neither product utopian trash. – John Berger	added by anonymous 13 years ago
The trebling of the population in this small and impoverished country, flowing with milk and honey but not with sufficient water, rich in rocks and sand dunes but poor in natural resources and vital raw materials, has been no easy task Indeed, practical men, with their eyes fixed upon things as they are, regarded it as an empty and insubstantial utopian dream. – Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe	added by anonymous 14 years ago
