Brave New World

by Aldous Huxley

God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice.

Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness. That’s why I have to keep these books locked up in the safe.

“But God’s the reason for everything noble and fine and heroic.

Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
