More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Family, monogamy, romance. Everywhere exclusiveness, a narrow channelling of impulse and energy.
Aldous Huxley
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
I am I, and I wish I weren't.
Aldous Huxley
I write everything many times over. All my thoughts are second thoughts.
Aldous Huxley
Hinduism the perennial philosophy that is at the core of all religions.
Aldous Huxley
From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.
Aldous Huxley
Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.
Aldous Huxley
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.
Aldous Huxley
Faith, it is evident, may be relied on to produce sustained action and, more rarely, sustained contemplation.
Aldous Huxley
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
Aldous Huxley
When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.
Aldous Huxley
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
Aldous Huxley
The thing that impresses me most about this country is its hopefulness. It is this which distinguishes it from Europe, where there is hopeless depression and fear.
Aldous Huxley
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.
Aldous Huxley
The effectiveness of political and religious propaganda depends upon the methods employed, not upon the doctrines taught. These doctrines may be true or false, wholesome or pernicious it makes little or no difference.
Aldous Huxley
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
