~ Aldous Huxley
Éste es el precio que debemos pagar por la estabilidad. Hay que elegir entre la felicidad y lo que la gente llamaba arte puro. Nosotros hemos sacrificado el arte puro.
~ Aldous Huxley
The Savage shook his head. "It all seems to me quite horrible." "Of course it does. Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
~ Aldous Huxley
The problem of rapidly increasing numbers in relation to natural resources, to social stability and to the well-being of individuals—this is now the central problem of mankind; and it will remain the central problem certainly for another century, and perhaps for several centuries thereafter.
~ Aldous Huxley
No deseamos cambios. Todo cambio constituye una amenaza para la estabilidad. Ésta es otra razón por la cual nos mostramos tan reacios a aplicar nuevos inventos. Todo descubrimiento de las ciencias puras es potencialmente subversivo; incluso la ciencia debe ser tratada a veces como un enemigo.
~ Aldous Huxley
Nu-i mai bine s? r?mîi acas?? S? prinzi r?d?cini? R?d?cinile devin îns? lanÈ›uri.
~ Aldous Huxley
La felicidad real siempre aparece escuálida por comparación con las compensaciones que ofrece la desdicha. Y, naturalmente, la estabilidad no es, ni con mucho, tan espectacular como la inestabilidad. Y estar satisfecho de todo no posee el hechizo de una buena lucha contra la desventura, ni el pintoresquismo del combate contra la tentación o contra una pasión fatal o una duda. La felicidad nunca tiene grandeza.
~ Aldous Huxley
Yes, Mustapha Mond was saying, that's another item in the cost of stability. It isn't only art that's incompatible with happiness; it's also science. Science is dangerous; we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.
~ Aldous Huxley
But that's the price we have to pay for stability. You've got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. We've sacrificed the high art. We have the feelies and the scent organ instead.
~ Aldous Huxley
The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get.
~ Aldous Huxley
The Savage shook his head. 'It all seems to me quite horrible.' 'Of course it does. Actual happiness always pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
~ Aldous Huxley
Hombres y mujeres estandarizados, en grupos uniformes. Todo el personal de una fábrica podía ser el producto de un sólo óvulo bokanovskificado. - ¡Noventa y seis mellizos trabajando en noventa y seis máquinas idénticas! -La voz del director casi temblaba de entusiasmo-. Sabemos muy bien adónde vamos. Por primera vez en la historia. -Citó la divisa planetario-: Comunidad, Identidad, Estabilidad.
~ Aldous Huxley
our world is not the same as Othello's world. . . you can't make tragedies without social instability. The world's stable now.
~ Aldous Huxley
La actual felicidad siempre parece muy menguada en comparación con las compensaciones que brinda la miseria. Y, además, la estabilidad no es ni con mucho tan espectacular como la inestabilidad. Y el estar satisfecho no tiene el encanto de una denodada lucha contra la desgracia, ni el pintoresquismo de una pugna contra la tentación, o de una fatal derrota a manos de la pasión o de la duda. La felicidad nunca es grandiosa.
~ Aldous Huxley
No cabe civilización alguna sin estabilidad social. Y no hay estabilidad social sin estabilidad individual.
~ Aldous Huxley
The people who govern Brave New World may not be sane (in what may be called the absolute sense of that word); but they are not mad men, and their aim is not anarchy but social stability. It is in order to achieve stability that they carry out, by scientific means, the ultimate, personal really revolutionary revolution … This really revolutionary revolution is to be achieved, not in the external world, but in the souls and flesh of human beings.
~ Aldous Huxley

Besides, we have our stability to think of. We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability. That's another reason why we're so chary of applying new inventions. Every discovery in pure science is potentially subversive; even science must sometimes be treated as a possible enemy. Yes, even science.
