Is that truly what is an identity? Not in our society, but perhaps that is what the word 'identity' means to theirs.Īnother important quote I found was when the Director is discussing conditioning the decanted babies to thrive on heat, ".that is the secret of happiness and virtue - liking what you've got to do. A machine built and created to serve mainly one purpose in life. When one is ranked, they are not an identity. This quote is also ironic at the same time because how can one have an identity when you are conditioned to feel, to think, and to be as what you are told to be, think, and feel? The word 'identity' is almost laughable in their motto. They even refuse to feel a bad emotion.Īctually, they do not 'choose'. They are a dirt-free, disease-free, and always good-feeling society. They want stability instead of creativity, they crave for compliance and human interaction at all times instead of being alone, and they need to be ranked in order to be as a community and stable at the same time. I believe this is an important quote because it creates the mood of how dull and boring this society truly is. One of the important quotes from this book is the society's motto itself, " Community, Identity, Stability". The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning explains to students about the whole process of decanting babies and producing multiple twins to create a truth out of their society's motto. In the beginning of this book, the majority is about the futuristic world and how the world works.
