i want poetry

In Brave New World everyone exists in ignorant bliss thanks to the drug Soma. The Controller explains that, "universal happiness has been achieved by shifting the emphasis away from truth and beauty and towards comfort".

But one person objects. "I don't want comfort, I want God. I want poetry. I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin."
