Subject: Aldous Huxley Quote From 1949
...Within
the next generation I believe that the world's leaders will discover
that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as
instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for
power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into
loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into
obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen
Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having
more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World".
--From a letter to George Orwell, dated 21 October 1949. From Letters of
Aldous Huxley, ed. Grover Smith; Harper & Row, 1969
