Certainly! Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is filled with memorable and thought-provoking quotes. Here are some of the most notable ones: On Society and Control "A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."
