More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
Aldous Huxley
If one is not oneself a sage or saint, the best thing one can do is to study the words of those who were.
Aldous Huxley
I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
Being cared for when one is dead is less satisfactory than being cared for when one is alive.
Aldous Huxley
For in spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody.
Aldous Huxley
The condition of being forgiven is self-abandonment. The proud man prefers self-reproach, however painful --because the reproached self isn't abandoned it remains intact.
Aldous Huxley
I'd rather be myself, he said. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.
Aldous Huxley
Almost all of us long for peace and freedom but very few of us have much enthusiasm for the thoughts, feelings, and actions that make for peace and freedom.
Aldous Huxley
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Aldous Huxley
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
Aldous Huxley
My fate cannot be mastered it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.
Aldous Huxley
Only times and places, only names and ghosts.
Aldous Huxley
Real progress is progress in charity, all other advances being secondary thereto.
Aldous Huxley
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Aldous Huxley
One right-thinking man thinks like all other right-thinking men of his time that is to say, in most cases, like some wrong-thinking man of another time.
Aldous Huxley
