More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying.
Aldous Huxley
To make this trivial world sublime, take half a gram of phanerothyme.
Aldous Huxley
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley
To be enlightened is to be aware, always, of total reality in its immanent otherness - to be aware of it and yet remain in a condition to survive as an animal. Our goal is to discover that we have always been where we ought to be. Unhappily we make the task exceedingly difficult for ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
Today we are faced, I think, with the approach of what may be called the ultimate revolution, the final revolution, where man can act directly on the mind-body of his fellows.
Aldous Huxley
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
Liberty? Why it doesn't exist. There is no liberty in this world, just gilded cages.
Aldous Huxley
We tend to think and feel in terms of the art we like and if the art we like is bad then our thinking and feeling will be bad. And if the thinking and feeling of most of the individuals composing a society is bad, is not that society in danger?
Aldous Huxley
In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is high in reality, very low.
Aldous Huxley
Every ceiling reached becomes a floor.
Aldous Huxley
Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations.
Aldous Huxley
War is often described as a law of nature-this is not true: Among the lower animals, war is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
Aldous Huxley
Words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study.
Aldous Huxley
All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.
Aldous Huxley
I was not looking now at an unusual flower arrangement. I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation - the miracle, moment by moment, of naked existence.
Aldous Huxley
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
I'm pretty good at inventing phrases - you know, the sort of words that suddenly make you jump, almost as though you'd sat on a pin, they seem so new and exciting even though they're about something hypnopaedically* obvious. But that doesn't seem enough. It's not enough for the phrases to be good what you make with them ought to be good too.
Aldous Huxley
One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.
Aldous Huxley
