A Clockwork Orange

by Anthony Burgess

But, brothers, this biting of their toe-nails over what is the cause of badness is what turns me into a fine laughing malchick. They don’t go into what is the cause of goodness, so why of the other shop? If lewdies are good that’s because they like it, and I wouldn’t ever interfere with their pleasures, and so of the other shop.

But what I do I do because I like to do.

Cram criminals together and see what happens. You get concentrated criminality, crime in the midst of punishment.

A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man.’
