More quotes by Aldous Huxley
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
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.
Aldous Huxley
I will have no Parsons around me but such as drink deep, ride to Hounds and caress the Wives and Daughters of their Parishioners.A Virtuous Parson does nothing to test or exercise the Faith of his Flock.
Aldous Huxley
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.
Aldous Huxley
The ductless glands secrete among other things our moods, our aspirations, our philosophy of life.
Aldous Huxley
For the first time in the history of the world, Buddhism proclaimed a salvation which each individual could gain from him or herself, in this world, during this life, without any least reference to God, or to gods either great or small.
Aldous Huxley
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
Aldous Huxley
My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.
Aldous Huxley
All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.
Aldous Huxley
We participate in a tragedy at a comedy we only look.
Aldous Huxley
It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.
Aldous Huxley
What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within!
Aldous Huxley
Higher education is not necessarily a guarantee of higher virtue.
Aldous Huxley
The proper study of mankind is books.
Aldous Huxley
Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley
You've got to be hurt and upset otherwise you can't think of the really good, penetrating, X-rayish phrases.
Aldous Huxley
Of course the Dharma-body of the Buddha was the hedge at the bottom of the garden. At the same time, and no less obviously, it was these flowers, it was anything that I - or rather the blessed Not-I - cared to look at.
Aldous Huxley
