In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is high in reality, very low.
Aldous Huxley
Image
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
Happiness has got to be paid for. You're paying for it, Mr. Watson–paying because you happen to be too much interested in beauty. I was too much interested in truth I paid too.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
Happiness is never grand.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Consciousness is only possible through change change is only possible through movement.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every ceiling reached becomes a floor.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In life, man proposes, God disposes.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
