Precisely
.
But
that
require
the
most
enormous
ingenuity
.
You
’
re
making
flivvers
out
of
the
absolute
minimum
of
steel
–
works
of
art
out
of
practically
nothing
but
pure
sensation
.
"
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
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
.
"
"
I
suppose
not
,
"
said
the
Savage
after
a
silence
.
"
But
need
it
be
quite
so
bad
as
those
twins
?
"
He
passed
his
hand
over
his
eyes
as
though
he
were
trying
to
wipe
away
the
remembered
image
of
those
long
rows
of
identical
midgets
at
the
assembling
tables
,
those
queued
-
up
twin
-
herds
at
the
entrance
to
the
Brentford
monorail
station
,
those
human
maggots
swarming
round
Linda
’
s
bed
of
death
,
the
endlessly
repeated
face
of
his
assailants
.
He
looked
at
his
bandaged
left
hand
and
shuddered
.
"
Horrible
!
"
"
But
how
useful
!
I
see
you
don
’
t
like
our
Bokanovsky
Groups
;
but
,
I
assure
you
,
they
’
re
the
foundation
on
which
everything
else
is
built
.
They
’
re
the
gyroscope
that
stabilizes
the
rocket
plane
of
state
on
its
unswerving
course
.
"
The
deep
voice
thrillingly
vibrated
;
the
gesticulating
hand
implied
all
space
and
the
onrush
of
the
irresistible
machine
.
Mustapha
Mond
’
s
oratory
was
almost
up
to
synthetic
standards
.
"
I
was
wondering
,
"
said
the
Savage
,
"
why
you
had
them
at
all
–
seeing
that
you
can
get
whatever
you
want
out
of
those
bottles
.
Why
don
’
t
you
make
everybody
an
Alpha
Double
Plus
while
you
’
re
about
it
?
"
Mustapha
Mond
laughed
.
"
Because
we
have
no
wish
to
have
our
throats
cut
,
"
he
answered
.
"
We
believe
in
happiness
and
stability
.
A
society
of
Alphas
couldn
’
t
fail
to
be
unstable
and
miserable
.
Imagine
a
factory
staffed
by
Alphas
–
that
is
to
say
by
separate
and
unrelated
individuals
of
good
heredity
and
conditioned
so
as
to
be
capable
(
within
limits
)
of
making
a
free
choice
and
assuming
responsibilities
.
Imagine
it
!
"
he
repeated
.
The
Savage
tried
to
imagine
it
,
not
very
successfully
.
"
It
’
s
an
absurdity
.
An
Alpha
-
decanted
,
Alpha
-
conditioned
man
would
go
mad
if
he
had
to
do
Epsilon
Semi
-
Moron
work
–
go
mad
,
or
start
smashing
things
up
.
Alphas
can
be
completely
socialized
–
but
only
on
condition
that
you
make
them
do
Alpha
work
.
Only
an
Epsilon
can
be
expected
to
make
Epsilon
sacrifices
,
for
the
good
reason
that
for
him
they
aren
’
t
sacrifices
;
they
’
re
the
line
of
least
resistance
.
His
conditioning
has
laid
down
rails
along
which
he
’
s
got
to
run
.
He
can
’
t
help
himself
;
he
’
s
foredoomed
.
Even
after
decanting
,
he
’
s
still
inside
a
bottle
–
an
invisible
bottle
of
infantile
and
embryonic
fixations
.
Each
one
of
us
,
of
course
,
"
the
Controller
meditatively
continued
,
"
goes
through
life
inside
a
bottle
.
But
if
we
happen
to
be
Alphas
,
our
bottles
are
,
relatively
speaking
,
enormous
.
We
should
suffer
acutely
if
we
were
confined
in
a
narrower
space
.
