“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”

“But, Bernard, you're saying the most awful things.''Don't you wish you were free, Lenina?''I don't know what you mean. I am free. Free to have the most wonderful time. Everybody's happy nowadays.'He laughed, 'Yes, "Everybody's happy nowadays." We begin giving children that at five. But wouldn't you like to be free to e happy in some other way, Lenina? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else's way.”

“If the girls keep dancing, everybody's happy. If the girls don't dance, nobody's happy.”
