"Anyone too undisciplined, too self-righteous or too self-centered to live in the world as it is has a tendency to ‘idealize’ a world which ought to be.
But no matter what political or religious direction such ‘idealists’ choose, their visions always share one telling characteristic: in their utopias, heavens, or brave new worlds, their greatest personal weakness suddenly appears to be a strength."
~David James Duncan - The Brothers K
