Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
268 pages
"The mockery made him feel an outsider; and feeling an outsider he behaved like one, which increased the prejudice against him and intensified the contempt and hostility aroused by his physical defects."
"Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly -- they'll go through anything."
"One of the principal functions of a a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies."
"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery."
"But God doesn't change."
"Men do, though."
