“Every milestone of civilization--the end of slavery, democracy, equal rights for men and women--these were all Utopian fantasies once, until they happened. That's why I think that history is actually the most subversive discipline of all the social sciences, because history shows us that things can be different, they don't have to be this way, we can change them.” — Rutger Bregman
