  1.  

All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.

Primroses and landscapes … have one grave defect: they are gratuitous. A love of nature keeps no factories busy. It was decided to abolish the love of nature, at any rate among the lower classes …

  1.  

These … are unpleasant facts; I know it. But, then, most historical facts are unpleasant.

 
  1.

  1.  

He was like a man pursued, but pursued by enemies he did not wish to see, lest they should seem even more hostile even than he had supposed and he himself made to feel guiltier and even more helplessly alone.

  1.  

What the two men shared was the knowledge that they were individuals.

 

 

I sometimes get a feeling that I’ve got something important to say and the power to say it – only I don’t know what it is, and I can’t make any use of the power.

  1.  

Fine to think we can go on being socially useful even after we’re dead. Making plants grow.

  1.  

Soma was served with the coffee.

  1.  

Bernard … foresaw for himself another failure to achieve atonement.

  1.

  1.  

It’s like living with lunatics. Everything they do is mad.

  1.

  1.

  1.

  1.  

Don’t you want to be free and men?

  1.  

… you can’t make tragedies without social instability …

  1.
