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 to-morrow; 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. Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. You're welcome, he said."
