If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In a few years, no doubt, marriage licences will be sold like dog licences, good for 12 months.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man has an almost infinite capacity for taking things and people for granted and thereby missing out on the pleasure of being grateful that things aren't worse and of praising and thereby lifting the spirits of others.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Dying is almost the least spiritual of our acts, more strictly carnal even than the act of love. There are Death Agonies that are like the strainings of the Costive at stool.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The nature of power is such that even those who have not sought it, but have had it forced upon them, tend to acquire a taste for more.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
The consistent thinker, the consistently moral man, is either a walking mummy or else, if he has not succeeded in stifling all his vitality, a fanatical monomaniac.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The investigation of nature is an infinite pasture-ground where all may graze, and where the more bite, the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor, and the more it nourishes.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To his dog, every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I like being myself. Myself and nasty.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with I, me, mine, that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours it is also everybody else's.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ending is better than mending.
Aldous Huxley
Image
What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Generalities are intellectually necessary evils.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
