Aldous Huxley
Image
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every gain made by individuals or society is almost instantly taken for granted.
