“We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
