"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It
is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old
reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world
of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less
but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be
progress toward more pain."
Orwell. 1984. 1948.
