"'Art, science-you seem to have paid a fairly high price for your happiness.'" (pg. 232)
I think these last few chapters were Huxley's call to action. Don't sacrifice things like religion, art, and science for a stable "happy" world. Without these types of things, people lose their humanity.
I like how science was noted as one of the things people lost. The whole book is very scientific, but this is a very limited form of science. Scientists can only study and do what their told; there's not room for them to think and ask their own questions. I see this world as very gray. There's no beauty or inspiration or passion because that would be a threat to the stability. There's no room to create, or even think for yourself.
