In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Utopia exists in the present moment, not in a distant future or a different location.
This quote emphasizes the importance of living in the present and finding fulfillment and happiness in the here and now. According to Stieglitz, if we constantly chase an idealized future or a perfect place, we may miss the beauty and potential of our current experiences, making true utopia nonexistent.

Our misery comes, not from work, but by our getting attached to something. Take for instance, money: money is a great thing to have, earn it, says Krishna; struggle hard to get money, but don't get attached to it. So with children, with wife, husband, relatives, fame, everything; you have no need to shun them, only don't get attached. There is only one attachment and that belongs to the Lord, and to none other.

Europe has grown to 27 member states, encompassing an amazing diversity and richness. Some argue this is part of the problem: Europe is simply too big and culturally disparate to be managed properly. But look to India for an example of how social unity can be forged within a culturally, linguistically, and ethnically complex nation.
