"In this confluence of social and ecological crises, we can no longer afford to be unimaginative; we can no longer afford to do without utopian thinking. The crises are too serious and the possibilities too sweeping to be resolved by customary modes of thought — the very sensibilities that produced these crises in the first place. Years ago, the French students in the May-June uprising of 1968 expressed this sharp contrast of alternatives magnificently in their slogan: “Be practical! Do the impossible!” To this demand, the generation that faces the next century can add the more solemn injunction: “If we don’t do the impossible, we shall be faced with the unthinkable!” - Murray Bookchin
