- 9431: Brave New World
- ... naturally assume the responsibilities and the rules of their castes. Very few question, as their caste is assigned from birth.

- 9432: We Are Who We Are Not
- ... about the nature of temptation. The church members were gathering around particular members in order to invoke the holy spirit and set the person free of temptation.

I mean, would it be impossible for some one not to cheat on a test if they could, even if they were ...
