More quotes by 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
What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.
Aldous Huxley
At any given moment, life is completely senseless. But viewed over a period, it seems to reveal itself as an organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction.
Aldous Huxley
Indifference to all the refinements of life--it's really shocking. Just Calvinism, that's all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin's theology.
Aldous Huxley
There was a thing called Heaven but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol.
Aldous Huxley
This really revolutionary revolution is to be achieved, not in the external world, but in the souls and flesh of human beings.
Aldous Huxley
Death is the only thing we haven't succeeded in completely vulgarizing.
Aldous Huxley
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
It is only when it takes the form of physical addiction that sex is evil. It is also evil when it manifests itself as a way of satisfying the lust for power or the climber's craving for position and social distinction.
Aldous Huxley
The question of the next generation will not be one of how to liberate the masses, but rather, how to make them love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley
For some strange reason murder has always seemed more respectable than fornication. Few people are shocked when they hear God described as the God of Battles but what an outcry there would be if anyone spoke of him as the God of Brothels.
Aldous Huxley
Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.
Aldous Huxley
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Aldous Huxley
I was born wandering between two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born, and have made, in a curious way, the worst of both.
Aldous Huxley
No social stability without individual stability.
Aldous Huxley
It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.
Aldous Huxley
