“Utopia is the imaginary society in which humankind’s deepest yearings, noblest dreams, and highest of ambitions come to fulfillment, where all physical, social, and spiritual forces work together, in harmony, to permit the attainment of everything people find necessary and desireable … Utopia is held together by commitment rather than coercion, for in utopia what people want to do is the same as what they have to do; the interests of the individuals are congruent with the interests of the group; and personal growth and freedom entail responsibility for others.”
From “Commitment and Community: Communes and Utopias in Sociological Perspective” by Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Every time I’m in NYC, I always drop by Strand. And every time I go, I tell myself to get one, maybe two books.
I always come out with at least 6.
