The whole thesis of the novel is in Chapter 13 - 17. Also, it inspired the Unabomber. Easy to see why.

>“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.'

>'In fact,' said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy.'

>'All right then,' said the Savage defiantly, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'

>'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.' There was a long silence.

>'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.
