Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. But there were also husbands, wives, lovers. There were also monogamy and romance. "Though you probably don't know what those are," said Mustapha Mond. They shook their heads. Family, monogamy, romance. Everywhere exclusiveness, a narrow channelling of impulse and energy. "But every one belongs to every one else," he concluded, citing the hypnopædic proverb.

Additional quotes by Aldous Huxley

Când eşti copil, mintea-ţi este un fel de soluţie saturată de sentiment, o emulsie a tuturor fiorilor — dar în stare latentă, într-o stare de nedeterminare. Îţi pare, spuse el încet, pe când stăm şi ne uitam în jos la faţa aceea micuţă pe care somnul o transfigurase în imaginea unei seninătăţi nepământene, îţi pare groaznic de rău pentru ei. N-au idee ce-i aşteaptă. Şaptezeci de ani de ambuscade şi trădări, de capcane camuflate şi decepţii. Şi de haz - asta-i momeala pusă în capcană. Distracţii — tot felul de distracţii. Distracţii sexuale, distracţii gastronomice, distracţiile puterii, ale confortului, posesiunii sau cruzimii. Ce fel de capcane îl mai aşteaptă pe micuţul drăgălaş culcat acolo sus în pătuţ? Nu te lasă inima să te gândeşti. Singura alinare e că nu ştii nimic înainte de întâmplare, iar apoi uiţi, sau îţi devine totul indiferent. Fiecare scenă a balconului se preschimbă într-o afacere de pigmei dintr-un alt univers! Şi desigur, la capăt te aşteaptă întotdeauna moartea.

And as I looked, it became very clear that this five-and-ten-cent ship was in some way connected with human pretensions. This suffocating interior of a dime-store ship was my own personal self; these gimcrack mobiles of tin and plastic were my personal contributions to the universe.
