I am I, and I wish I weren't.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I'd rather be myself, he said. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.
Aldous Huxley

These are the sort of things people ought to look at. Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Chastity - the most unnatural of all the sexual perversions.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Thought of the incomprehensible sequence of changes and chances that make up a life, all the beauties and horrors and absurdities whose conjunctions create the uninterpretable and yet divinely significant pattern of human destiny.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?
Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
Image
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The ductless glands secrete among other things our moods, our aspirations, our philosophy of life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army's beautiful. But that's not all it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.
Aldous Huxley

Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right
