Our
true nationality is mankind."
A
downtrodden class... will never be able to make an effective protest until it
achieves solidarity.
"A
federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient measure of social justice,
to ensure health, education, and a rough equality of opportunity to most of the
children born into the world, would mean such a release and increase of human
energy as to open a new phase in human history."
"The
Utopia of a modern dreamer must needs differ in one fundamental aspect from the
Nowheres and Utopias men planned before Darwin quickened the thought of the world.
Those were all perfect and static States, a balance of happiness won for ever
against the forces of unrest and disorder that inhere in things. One beheld a
healthy and simple generation enjoying the fruits of the earth in an atmosphere
of virtue and happiness, to be followed by other virtuous happy, and entirely
similar generations until the Gods grew weary. Change and development were damned
back by invincible dams for ever. But the Modern Utopia must be not static but
kinetic, must shape not as a permanent state but as a hopeful sage leading to
a long ascent of stages."
