More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Only a person with a Best Seller mind can write Best Sellers.
Aldous Huxley
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation.
Aldous Huxley
One right-thinking man thinks like all other right-thinking men of his time that is to say, in most cases, like some wrong-thinking man of another time.
Aldous Huxley
We lie to ourselves in order that we may still have the excuse of ignorance, the alibi of stupidity and incomprehension, possessing which we can continue with a good conscience to commit and tolerate the most monstrous crimes.
Aldous Huxley
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
A majority of young people seem to develop mental arteriosclerosis forty years before they get the physical kind.
Aldous Huxley
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
Aldous Huxley
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences. [Therefore be careful how you interpret your life. Don't think or speak negatively lest your subconscious and others take you at your word and you are hung by your own tongue!]
Aldous Huxley
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Aldous Huxley
Modern man no longer regards Nature as in any sense divine and feels perfectly free to behave toward her as an overweening conqueror and tyrant.
Aldous Huxley
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
Pully, hauly, tug with a will the gods wiggle waggle, but the sky stands still.
Aldous Huxley
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.
Aldous Huxley
It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with I, me, mine, that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours it is also everybody else's.
Aldous Huxley
Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Aldous Huxley
Words are good servants but bad masters.
Aldous Huxley
Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.
Aldous Huxley
Did you ever feel, as though you had something inside you that was only waiting for you to give it a chance to come out? Some sort of extra power that you aren't using - you know, like all the water that goes down the falls instead of through the turbines?
Aldous Huxley
Words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study.
Aldous Huxley
