More quotes by Aldous Huxley
If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
Aldous Huxley
Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very beginning that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and in the country around it. Rub it in.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Aldous Huxley
Love is as necessary to human beings as food and shelter [but] without intelligence, ... love is impotent and freedom unattainable.
Aldous Huxley
It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.
Aldous Huxley
Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.
Aldous Huxley
Our vanity makes us exaggerate the importance of human life the individual is nothing Nature cares only for the species.
Aldous Huxley
The self is coming from a state of pure awareness from the state of being. All the rest that comes about in a outward manifesation of the physical world, including fluctuations which end up as thoughts and actions
Aldous Huxley
To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and the inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large-This is the experience of inestimable value to everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley
The people who kill and torture and tell lies in the name of their sacred causes, these are never the publicans and the sinners. No, they're the virtuous, respectable men, who have the finest feelings, the best brains, the noblest ideals.
Aldous Huxley
I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world.
Aldous Huxley
To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.
Aldous Huxley
The proper study of mankind is books.
Aldous Huxley
Every significant artist is a metaphysician, a propounder of beauty-truths and form-theories.
Aldous Huxley
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Aldous Huxley
To be a fool at the right time is also an art.
Aldous Huxley
In any race between human numbers and natural resources, time is against us.
Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
