More from Aldous Huxley
"We are living in a world completely controlled by the media. The media controls what we think, what we believe, and what we do."
"We are not always what we seem, and there is a great deal of difference between what we are and what we think we are."
"The people who govern us don't want us to be educated. They want us to be just smart enough to go to work and pay taxes."
"The more powerful the means of communication, the easier it is to control public opinion."
"Words are like X-rays if you use them properly – they'll go through anything. You read yourself and at the end of it you'll be transparent. You'll understand everything."
