Aldous Huxley Quotes

The Boys Still Sang Their Horrible Song About Linda. Sometimes, Too, They Laughed At Him For Being So Ragged. When He Tore His Clothes, Linda Did Not Know How To Mend Them. In The Other Place, She Told Him, People Threw Away Clothes With Holes In Them And Got New Ones. "Rags, Rags!" The Boys Used To Shout At Him. "But I Can Read," He Said To Himself, "and They Can't. They Don't Even Know What Reading Is." It Was Fairly Easy, If He Thought Hard Enough About The Reading, To Pretend That He Didn't Mind When They Made Fun Of Him. He Asked Linda To Give Him The Book Again.
The More The Boys Pointed And Sang, The Harder He Read.
