First Sentence

At the end of Sir Thomas More's Utopia the character "More" rejects Raphael Hythloday's suggestion that the Utopians have achieved the optimus reipublicae status ("the best state of a commonwealth"): When Raphael had finished his story, I was left thinking that not a few of the laws and customs he had described as existing among the Utopians were really absurd.
