As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.-Aldous Huxley, novelist

Love this one!
My dear husband has been reading some classic social commentary novels lately ("1984" and "The Jungle," so far, and I've been planning to get him "Brave New World," bc I think it's particularly relevant.
