The quotes that explain John (or at least, I think so)
He [John] was obscurely terrified lest she [Lenina] should cease to be something he could feel himself unworthy of.
Bound by strong vows that had never been pronounced, obedient to laws that had long since ceased to run he sat averted and in silence.
Near the end of Chapter 11.
