"The Quantum Mechanics of Politics" by Flora Lewis (1983) (http://bit.do/fQcUr)

"If humans are not perfect, what nonsense it is to think we can invent a perfect society. The best possible society, which can never be anywhere near ideal, has to be the one best able to correct its mistakes, to develop new ideas, adjust to new circumstances. The writers of our Constitution understood that even the best minds and hearts make mistakes."
