Another world Quote by Ray Bradbury
““Don’t ask for everything on your platter,” she said. “Be satisfied with a wrinkled pea, for there’s another world we’re all going to that’s better than this one.” “I know that world,” he said. “It’s peaceful,” she said. “Yes.” “There’s quiet,” she said. “Yes.” “There’s milk and honey flowing.” “Why, yes,” he said. “And everybody’s laughing.” “I can see it now,” he said. “A better world,” she said. “Far better,” he said. “Yes, Mars is a great planet.””

![“[The Utopia of Rules] should offer a challenge to us all. Should we just accept this bureaucracy as inevitable? Or is there a way to get rid of all those hours spent listening to bad call-centre music? Do policemen, academics, teachers and doctors really need to spend half their time filling in…” quote by Gillian Tett](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/223/gillian-tett-57286_accepting_the-utopia-of-rules-should-offer-a-chall_39418.jpg)
