More quotes by Aldous Huxley
I write everything many times over. All my thoughts are second thoughts.
Aldous Huxley
Of the significant and pleasurable experiences of life only the simplest are open indiscriminately to all. The rest cannot be had except by those who have undergone a suitable training.
Aldous Huxley
If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Animal Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.
Aldous Huxley
In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
Aldous Huxley
Unlike the masses, intellectuals have a taste for rationality and an interest in facts.
Aldous Huxley
But that's the price we have to pay for stability. You've got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. We've sacrificed the high art.
Aldous Huxley
Hitler's vast propaganda successes were accomplished with little more than the radio and loudspeaker, and without TV and tape and video recording . . . Today the art of mind control is in the process of becoming a science.
Aldous Huxley
Chastity - the most unnatural of all the sexual perversions.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Aldous Huxley
The world is an illusion, but an illusion which we must take seriously.
Aldous Huxley
It takes a certain amount of intelligence and imagination to realize the extraordinary queerness and mysteriousness of the world in which we live.
Aldous Huxley
We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability.
Aldous Huxley
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
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
People are much too solemn about things - I'm all for sticking pins into episcopal behinds.
Aldous Huxley
Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.
Aldous Huxley
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Only one more indispensable massacre of Capitalists or Communists or Fascists or Christians or Heretics, and there we are in the Golden Future.
Aldous Huxley
Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unshown marble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Aldous Huxley
