“Heaven is home. Utopia is here. Nirvana is now.”
“Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment. . . . Humanity is in "final exam" as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe.”
“Critics of utopianism have argued that utopian ends inevitably are used to legitimize violent means, whether against the scapegoated opponents of a utopian project or against innocent bystanders who must pay a price for the greater good of society.”
“Certainly we ought to be discontented, we ought not simply to find out ways of making the best of a bad job, and yet if we kill all pleasure in the actual process of life, what sort of future are we preparing for ourselves? If a man cannot enjoy the return of spring, why should he be happy in a labour-saving Utopia? What will he do with the leisure that the machine will give him?”
“No one can be perfectly free till all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy.”
“Utopias are invented to be realized, and as long as there is no demand for an improvement of living conditions, changing things is impossible.”

Mamonas Assassinas was a Brazilian comedy rock band. Known originally as Utopia, their musical style employed a humorous mixture between rock and a wide range of styles, often borrowing elements from other music, among which were the main riff of the Portuguese Vira ("Vira-Vira"), Northeastern Brazilian rhythms like forró, Mexican music, heavy metal, sertanejo, and even pagode. Widely beloved in their native Brazil, the band are widely regarded as one of the most popular bands to come out of the 1990s Brazilian music scene.
