More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
Aldous Huxley
Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.
Aldous Huxley
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.
Aldous Huxley
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
Aldous Huxley
Dream in a pragmatic way.
Aldous Huxley
The condition of being forgiven is self-abandonment. The proud man prefers self-reproach, however painful --because the reproached self isn't abandoned it remains intact.
Aldous Huxley
We are so anxious to achieve some particular end that we never pay attention to the psycho-physical means whereby that end is to be gained. So far as we are concerned, any old means is good enough. But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.
Aldous Huxley
The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
Aldous Huxley
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
Aldous Huxley
All democracies are based on the proposition that power is very dangerous and that it is extremely important not to let any one person or small group have too much power for too long a time
Aldous Huxley
Wild inside raging, writhing—yes, writhing was the word, writhing with desire. But outwardly he was hopelessly tame outwardly—baa, baa, baa.
Aldous Huxley
Every significant artist is a metaphysician, a propounder of beauty-truths and form-theories.
Aldous Huxley
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
... the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.
Aldous Huxley
Can you say something about nothing?
Aldous Huxley
