Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! You knew, didnโt you? Iโm part of you? Close, close, close! Iโm the reason why itโs no go? Why things are what they are?
William GoldingUtopias 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. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply. We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation. 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?
