💤Borrrriiinnng!I really have to be honest on this one; I didn't like it. It is way to confusing, doesn't offer much explanation at important events and the main idea of that the book is far too confusing...
Extremely disappointing ending...
Quotes
- Roman Vlasovhas quoted7 years ago
'All right, then,' said the Savage, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'
'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and weak; the right to suffer disease; the right to have too little to eat; the right to live in constant fear of what may happen tomorrow; the right to fall a victim to pains of every kind.'
There was a long silence.
'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.
Mustapha Mond spoke slowly. 'You're welcome,' he said. - Roman Vlasovhas quoted7 years ago'All the difference in the world. People used to turn to God when they were growing old and troubled and tired of the world. In the modern world we've got youth and happiness right up to the end. What follows? Evidently, that we can be independent of God. "Religious feeling will make up to us all our losses", says the writer of one of these old books. But we haven't any losses to be made up. We don't need religious feeling.'
- Roman Vlasovhas quoted7 years ago'The ideal population,' said Mustapha Mond, 'is like an iceberg - eight-ninths below the waterline, one-ninth above.'
'And they're happy below the waterline?'
'Happier than above it. Happier than your friends here, for example.'
