Aldous Huxley

The pursuit of truth is just a polite name for the intellectual's favorite pastime of substituting simple and therefore false abstractions for the living complexities of reality.
Aldous Huxley
Image
And no wonder for the new technique of subliminal projection, as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Experience is not what happens to a man it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ending is better than mending.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every gain made by individuals or societies is almost instantly taken for granted. The luminous ceiling toward which we raise our longing eyes becomes, when we have climbed to the next floor, a stretch of disregarded linoleum beneath our feet.
Aldous Huxley
