"If you had a God, you'd have a reason for self-denial". "But industrial civilization is only possible when there's no self-denial. Self-indulgence up to the very limits imposed by hygiene and economics. Otherwise the wheels stop turning." "You'd have a reason for chastity!" said the Savage, blushing a little as he spoke the words.
"But chastity means passion, chastity means neurasthenia. And passion and neurasthenia mean instability. And instability means the end of civilization. You can't have a lasting civilization without plenty of pleasant vices." "But God's the reason for everything noble and fine and heroic. If you had a God…"
"My dear young friend", said Mustapha Mond, "civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise. Where there are wars, where there are divided allegiances, where there are temptations to be resisted, objects of love to be fought for or defended–there, obviously, nobility and heroism have some sense. But there aren't any wars nowadays. The greatest care is taken to prevent you from loving any one too much. There's no such thing as a divided allegiance; you're so conditioned that you can't help doing what you ought to do."
" Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears–that's what soma is."
"But the tears are necessary. Don't you remember what Othello said? 'If after every tempest came such calms, may the winds blow till they have wakened death.' There's a story one of the old Indians used to tell us, about the Girl of Mátaski. The young men who wanted to marry her had to do a morning's hoeing in her garden. It seemed easy; but there were flies and mosquitoes, magic ones. Most of the young men simply couldn't stand the biting and stinging. But the one that could–he got the girl." "Charming! But in civilized countries," said the Controller, "you can have girls without hoeing for them, and there aren't any flies or mosquitoes to sting you. We got rid of them all centuries ago." The Savage nodded, frowning. "You got rid of them. Yes, that's just like you. Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it. Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them … But you don't do either. Neither suffer nor oppose. You just abolish the slings and arrows. It's too easy". Source: www.huxley.net
In VS magazine with Drew Barrymore and Juliette Lewis, photoshoot by Ellen Von Unwerth.
WHIP IT Behind the scenes with a very earnest Drew Barrymore. "I know that many of you aren't too excited for WHIP IT, which follows Ellen Page's roller derby escapades as she tries to fit in at high school. But how does a minute long, behind the scenes look with Drew Barrymore sound?
Yeah, I didn’t think that would win you over. I actually believe this movie could be rather cute, but yes, I’m probably only going if a date makes me, which will save me some amount of man-points. Watching the featurette, I realized that Drew Barrymore in real life is EXACTLY like Drew Barrymore in every movie she’s ever been in, hence why MY DATE WITH DREW was a pretty surreal experience.

Part of "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" soundtrack there were featured two songs by an indie group The Willowz: "Something" and "Keep On Looking" - written by Richie Eaton and performed by The Willowz.

"I’ve seen Jennifer’s Body, and while I’m not at liberty to review the film yet, I can safely say that it at least reverses my opinion of Fox’s cinematic talents — and, I’m betting, the opinion of many others. Sure, there will always be people who instinctively lay into Fox as a pretty face who can’t act, but after the film is released two weeks from now, at least she’ll finally have her defenders. It’s a great role for Fox in many ways, not least of which is because it’s an actual role: Rather than merely serving as eye candy, Fox is given a range of things to do and she nails them. What makes the part of Jennifer Check an even better fit for Fox, though, is that it tweaks her eye candy image about as often as Fox herself does in the press. Playing a popular hottie with some unexpected bite is second nature to the actress; just listen as Fox compares Michael Bay to Hitler, and tell me it’s not as deliciously vicious as watching beautiful Jennifer grow fangs to feast on an unsuspecting emo kid.Finally, that comic timing that comes through on the magazine page is given script pages that can utilize it. As Jennifer, Fox is snappy and clever, and her thin voice provides an interesting counterpoint to the unmistakably muscular voice of Jennifer’s writer, Diablo Cody. In the wrong hands (and sometimes even the right ones, like Rainn Wilson’s in Juno), there’s a danger that Cody’s carefully crafted comebacks can feel overdeliberate, but to hear them casually deadpanned by Fox gives the proceedings a quirky jolt. Other actresses would have used those lines to chew the scenery, but Fox effectively plays against them, and when things turn serious or unexpectedly emotional, she pops even more".
