A quotation from Robert Bolt

CROMWELL: Yet is there a man in this court, is there a man in this country, who does not know Sir Thomas More’s opinion of this title? Of course not! But how can that be? Because this silence betokened — nay, this silence was — not silence at all, but most eloquent denial!
 
MORE: (with some of the academic’s impatience for a shoddy line of reasoning) Not so, Mr. Secretary, the maxim is “qui tacet consentire”: The maxim of the law is: (very carefully) “Silence Gives Consent .” If therefore you wish to construe what my silence “betokened,” you must construe that I consented, not that I denied.
 
CROMWELL: Is that in fact what the world construes from it? Do you pretend that is what you wish the world to construe from it?
 
MORE: The world must construe according to its wits. This court must construe according to the law.

Robert Bolt (1924-1995) English dramatist
A Man for All Seasons, play, Act 2 (1960)

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.

"If my head would win him a castle in France, it should not fail to go."

Sir Thomas More knew the dangers of serving Henry VIII—and paid the ultimate price. Dive into the story of loyalty, power, and principle in Tudor England.

60 yrs ago
MORE was the biggest hit of '63
This is a tune that jogs my memory
MORE than the corny music
that I play
It's just a theme I wrote
for Mondo Cane
Ti Guarderò Nel Cuore
Can't wait to translate
These royalty checks will be
keeping me laughing
all the way to the bank
Longer than always
is extremely long
But far beyond forever
you're gonna sing this song
I know I've never hit before
& my best advice to you is
Don't lose your head like

April was a bit of a slow month reading wise, so here is a very short list of the books I read. I can't believe it took me so long to getting round to the first one on the list, which I absolutely loved.
1.The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood
2. Utopia - Thomas More

Tot slot #StijnCoenen v/ @ThomasMoreBE - u zegt "Met die bezorgdheden zijn we ook aan de slag gegaan, zie het onderzoek bij #IDEWE.”

Lees "Complaint!" zoals eerder vermeld in deze draad - hoe flauw dit overkomt en een klacht als publiciteit dient zelfs.

Je ĉi dato en 1478 naskiĝis Thomas More, politikisto kaj verkisto, kies plej fama verkaĵo estas "Utopia", satira rakonto pri perfekta socio kiun multo kredas esti la unua priskribo pri socialismo. Kiam la reĝo rompis for la papo, More estis senkapiĝita ĉar li spitis lin pri la afero, dirante ke li metis sian moralan konscion super fideleco al sia lando. La filmo "Viro por ĉiuj sezonoj" temas pri li. https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More

Early utopian socialist thinkers such as Robert Owen, Charles Fourier and the Comte de Saint-Simon based their theories of #socialism upon #Christian principles. From St. Augustine of Hippo's City of God through St. #ThomasMore 's #Utopia, major Christian writers defended ideas that #socialists found agreeable and advocated for.

#Utopia un libro di Thomas More del 1516 dove si racconta di una società utopica e che critica la società contemporanea del suo tempo ma è ancora fortemente attuale.

A 18 anni mi ritrovai a leggerlo e il ricordo che ne ho oggi è quello di una delle più belle e illuminati letture della mia vita.

Qualcuno lo ha letto?
