All of us desire a better state of society. But society cannot become better before two great tasks are performed.Unless peace can be firmly established and the prevailing obsession with money and power profoundly modified, there is no hope of any desirable change being made.
Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
A physical shortcoming could produce a kind of mental excess. The process, it seemed, was reversible. Mental excess could produce, for its own purposes, the voluntary blindness and deafness of deliberate solitude, the artificial impotence of asceticism.
Aldous Huxley
Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy with ideology, to have wars because of words, to have tomorrow's misdeeds out of yesterday's miscreeds?
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Can we unite against ourselves for our own higher interest?
Aldous Huxley
The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.
Aldous Huxley
These are the sort of things people ought to look at. Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.
Aldous Huxley
Results only come to those who master the paradoxical art of doing and not doing, of letting go as a person in order that the immanent and transcendent unknown quantity may take hold. We cannot make ourselves understand the most we can do is to foster a state of mind in which understanding may come to us.
Aldous Huxley
The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley
I think we have to prepare the mind in one way or another to accept the great uprush or downrush, whichever you like to call it, of the greater non-self.
Aldous Huxley
War is often described as a law of nature-this is not true: Among the lower animals, war is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
There are many kinds of gods. Therefore there are many kinds of men.
Aldous Huxley
Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare, it is simply disgraceful.
Aldous Huxley
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Aldous Huxley
Some of the greatest advances in mathematics have been due to the invention of symbols, which it afterwards became necessary to explain from the minus sign proceeded the whole theory of negative quantities.
