“Quando non dormivo ed ero in ansia, quando i miei incubi mi divoravano, non potevo accendere la luce o distrarmi con realtà virtuali come fanno i lucenti, poiché l'unico rimedio in quel buio senza limite era creare, progettare, darsi da fare, conoscere, inventare, leggere e scrivere. Ho sempre coltivato l'idea che se non l'avessi fatto, non avrei mai trovato me stessa. E quello era ciò che volevano i Cyborg: che io mi auto-annientassi.
Ma ora un Cyborg sembra volere tutto il contrario.
Ora posso ipotizzare, dedurre, posso lasciare uscire la parte migliore di me stessa, tutto quel che penso. E ciò che lo rende più incredibile e assurdamente folle è che tra tutti i Cyborg lui è davvero l'unico a non possedere un cuore.”
― Beauty and the Cyborg

“But I like the inconveniences."
"We don't," said the Controller. "We prefer to do things comfortably."
"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."
"In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy."
"All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the nght to be unhappy."
"Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have
syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right
to live in constant apprehension of what may happen to-morrow; the right to catch
typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind." There was a
long silence.
"I claim them all," said the Savage at last.
Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. "You're welcome," he said.”
