More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
Intellectuals ... regard over-simplification as the original sin of the mind and have no use for the slogans, the unqualified assertions and sweeping generalizations.
Aldous Huxley
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
Aldous Huxley
An irrelevance, and your life's altered.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe.
Aldous Huxley
Christianity accepted as given a metaphysical system derived from several already existing and mutually incompatible systems.
Aldous Huxley
Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?
Aldous Huxley
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley
The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.
Aldous Huxley
The old idea that words possess magical powers is false but its falsity is the distortion of a very important truth. Words do have a magical effect - but not in the way that magicians supposed, and not on the objects they were trying to influence. Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.
Aldous Huxley
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
The Christian idea of a perfect heaven that is something other than a non-existence is a contradiction in terms.
Aldous Huxley
Can we unite against ourselves for our own higher interest?
Aldous Huxley
No holiday is ever anything but a disappointment.
Aldous Huxley
The investigation of nature is an infinite pasture-ground where all may graze, and where the more bite, the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor, and the more it nourishes.
Aldous Huxley
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
The third petition of the Lord's Prayer is repeated daily by millions who have not the slightest intention of letting anyone's will be done but their own.
Aldous Huxley
Peace is a necessary condition of spirituality, no less than an inevitable result of it.
Aldous Huxley
If we must play the theological game, let us never forget that it is a game. Religion, it seems to me, can survive only as a consciously accepted system of make-believe.
Aldous Huxley
