Charlie Brooker
“If a Victorian gentleman arrived in present-day London, he’d think we’d been invaded by glowing rectangles.”
Charlie Brooker, I Can Make You Hate

Aldous Huxley
“How can anyone take yes for an answer?” he countered. “Yes is just pretending, just positive thinking. The facts, the basic and ultimate facts, are always no. Spirit? No! Love? No! Sense, meaning, achievement? No!”
Aldous Huxley, The Ultimate Brave New World: Brave New World, Island and Brave New World Revisited

Aldous Huxley
“In the context of 1948, 1984 seemed dreadfully convincing. But tyrants, after all, are mortal and circumstances change. Recent developments in Russia and recent advances in science and technology have robbed Orwell’s book of some of its gruesome verisimilitude. A nuclear war will, of course, make nonsense of everybody’s predictions. But, assuming for the moment that the Great Powers can somehow refrain from destroying us, we can say that it now looks as though the odds were more in favor of something like Brave New World than of something like 1984.”
Aldous Huxley, The Ultimate Brave New World: Brave New World, Island and Brave New World Revisited

Charlie Brooker
“I wish I enjoyed the World Cup, if only for some fleeting sense of common unity with the rest of humankind. But I simply don’t get it. A huge number of my fellow citizens tune in and witness a glorious contest of ecstatic highs and heartbreaking lows. I see twenty-two millionaires fucking up a lawn.”
Charlie Brooker, I Can Make You Hate

Aldous Huxley
“We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All we can do is learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable way.”
Aldous Huxley, Island
