Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We can't allow science to undo its own good work.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is no bad day that can’t be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet. This is just truth, plain and simple.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A life-worshipper's philosophy is comprehensive. He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death and now a Dionysian child of nature now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The amelioration of the world cannot be achieved by sacrifices in moments of crisis it depends on the efforts made and constantly repeated during the humdrum, uninspiring periods, which separate one crisis from another, and of which normal lives mainly consist.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Unlike the masses, intellectuals have a taste for rationality and an interest in facts.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Proportion ... You can't help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn't exist ... It's like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way ... We need no barbarians from outside they're on the premises, all the time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Religion is always a patron of the arts, but its taste is by no means impeccable.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A million million spermatozoa, All of them alive: Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah Dare hope to survive.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The lion will lay down with the lamb...but every morning they'll have to provide a new lamb. Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The trouble with fiction, said John Rivers, is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of central government.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons - that's philosophy.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal appetites of the soul.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To travel is to discover that everybody is wrong. The philosophies, the civilizations which seem, at a distance, so superior to those current at home, all prove on a close inspection to be in their own way just as hopelessly imperfect.
Aldous Huxley
