"And as though awakened by her cry he caught her by the shoulders and shook her. "Whore!" he shouted, "Whore! Impudent strumpet!'"
"Twins, Twins…. like maggots they had swarmed defilingly over the mystery of Lindas' death. Maggots again, but larger, full grown, they now crawled across his grief and his repentance
"There was a moment's silence; then, in a very low voice, 'I love you more than anything in the world,' he said. 'Then why didn't you just say so?' she cried, and so intense was her exasperation that she drove her sharp nails in to the skin of his wrist."
"He felt hot tears welling up behind his eyelids as he recalled the words and Linda's voice as she repeated them."
"Not until...Listen, Lenina; in Malpais people get married." "Get what?" The irritation had begub to creep back into her face. What was he talking about now? "For always. They make a promise to live together for always." "What a horrible idea!" Lenina was genuinely shocked.
He shook his head. "She's my mother," he said in a scarcely audible voice. The nurse glanced at him with startled, horrified eyes; then quickly looked away. From throat to temple she was all in one hot blush.
"Now, who want a chocolate eclair?" she asked in a loud cheerful tone. "Me!" yelled the entire Bokanvosky Group in chorus. Bed 20 was completely forgotten. p.140-141
"Don't you want to be free and men? Don't you even understand what manhood and freedom are?" Rage was making him fluent; the words came easily, in a rush. "Don't you?" he repeated, but got no answer to his question. "Very well then, " he went on grimly. "I'll teach you; I'll make you be free whether you want to or not." And pushing open a window that looked on to the inner court of the Hospital, he began to throw the little pill-boxes of soma tablets in handfuls out into the area. p.144-145
"For Ford's sake, John, talk sense. I can't understand a word you say. First it's vacuum cleaners; then it's knots. You're driving me crazy." p. 130
"She's my mother," he said in a scarcely audible voice. The nurse glanced at him with startled, horrified eyes; then quickly looked away. From throat to temple she was all one hot blush. p. 135
"If I didn't like you so much," she said, "I'd be furious with you." pg. 130
"Whore!" he shouted. "Whore! Imprudent strumpet!" "Oh, don't do-on't," she protested in a voice made grotesquely tremulous by his shaking. "Whore!" "Plea-ease." "Damned whore!" "A gra-amme is begetter…" she began. pg. 132
"The Savage looked down at him and still without speaking pushed him away. The twin fell on the floor and at once began to howl. The Savage did not even look round." pg. 141 "The Savage pushed her away with such force that she staggered and fell. 'Go,' he shouted, standing over her menacingly, 'get our of my sight or I'll kill you.' He clenched his fists" pg. 132
"Twenty-two years, eight months, and four days from that moment, a promising young Alpha-Minus administrator at Mwanza-Mwanza was to die of trypansomiasis - the first case for over half a century. Sighing, Lenina went on with her work."
"But it's absurd to let yourself get into a state like this. Simply absurd," she repeated. "And what about? A man- one man." "But he's the one I want."
"By the time they were back at the end of the ward Linda was dead. The savage stood for a moment in frozen silence, then fell on his knees beside the bed and, covering his face with his hands, sobbed uncontrollably." pg. 140
"Oh, God, God, God..." the Savage kept repeating to himself. In the chaos of grief and remorse that filled his mind it was the one articulate word. "God!" he whispered it aloud. "God..." pg. 141
"She was suddenly silent. Terror had made her forget the pain. Opening her eyes, she had seen his face–no, not his face, a ferocious stranger's, pale, distorted, twitching with some insane, inexplicable fury."
"By the time they were back at the end of the ward Linda was dead. The Savage stood for a moment in frozen silence, then fell on his knees beside the bed and, covering his face with his hands, sobbed uncontrollably."
"Linda had been a slave, Linda had died; others should live in freedom, and the world be made beautiful. A reparation, a duty. And suddenly it was luminously clear to the Savage what he must do; it was as though a shutter had been opened, a curtain drawn back." pg.143
"And suddenly there was Helmholtz at his side- "Good old Helmholtz!"- also punching- "Men at last!"- and in the interval also throwing the poison out and there was no more poison left" pg.145
"Zip, zip! Her answer was wordless. She stepped out of her bell-bottomed trousers. Her zippicamiknicks were a pale shell pink. The Arch-Community-Songster's golden T dangles at her breast." Page 131

Mary O- The Savage stood looking on. "O brave new world, O brave new world …" In his mind the singing words seemed to change their tone. They had mocked him through his misery and remorse, mocked him with how hideous a note of cynical derision! Fiendishly laughing, they had insisted on the low squalor, the nauseous ugliness of the nightmare.
"Free, free!" the Savage shouted, and with one hand continued to throw the soma into the area while, with the other, he punched the indistinguishable faces of his assailants. "Free!" And suddenly there was Helmholtz at his side–"Good old Helmholtz!"–also punching–"Men at last!"–and in the interval also throwing the poison out by handfuls through the open window. "Yes, men! men!" and there was no more poison left. He picked up the cash-box and showed them its black emptiness. "You're free!"
