More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
To write fiction, one needs a whole series of inspirations about people in an actual environment, and then a whole lot of work on the basis of those inspirations.
Aldous Huxley
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
