Aldous Huxley
“I am I, and I wish I weren't.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“His response was to fight it with the only weapons at hand—passive resistance and open displays of contempt.”
Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

John Ajvide Lindqvist
“They stood there for a while, not saying anything. Then Eli said: 'Do you want to come in?'
Oskar didn't reply. Eli pulled on her T-shirt, lifted her hands, let them fall.
'I'm never going to hurt you.'
'I know that.'
'What are you thinking about?'
'That T-shirt. Is it from the trash room?'
'...yes.'
'Have you washed it?'
Eli didn't answer.
'You're a little gross, you know that?'
'I can change, if you like.'
'Good. Do that.”
John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Charm was a scheme for making strangers like and trust a person immediately, no matter what the charmer had in mind.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

Aldous Huxley
“It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about the society you're supposed to be adjusted to? Is it a mad society or a sane one? And even if it's pretty sane, is it right that anybody should be completely adjusted to it?”
Aldous Huxley, Island
