Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Knowledge is an affair of symbols and is, all too often, a hindrance to wisdom, the uncovering of the self from moment to moment
Aldous Huxley
Image
Did you ever feel, as though you had something inside you that was only waiting for you to give it a chance to come out? Some sort of extra power that you aren't using - you know, like all the water that goes down the falls instead of through the turbines?
Aldous Huxley
Image
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.

Image
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.

Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.

Image
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Let us be kinder to one another.
Aldous Huxley

What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes - ah, they have all the necessary leisure.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Champagne had the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All we can do is to learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable way.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons-that's philosophy. People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.

Sleep is the most blessed and blessing of all natural graces.
