Famous quotes containing the words test and/or limitations:

    Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply.... We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation.

    William Golding (b. 1911)

    The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
