More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
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
People are much too solemn about things - I'm all for sticking pins into episcopal behinds.
Aldous Huxley
Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.
Aldous Huxley
But every one belongs to every one else
Aldous Huxley
Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
Aldous Huxley
I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.
Aldous Huxley
If you don't gamble, you'll never win.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies.
Aldous Huxley
Home, home -- a few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by a rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space an understerilized prison darkness, disease, and smells.
Aldous Huxley
God: a gaseous vertebrate.
Aldous Huxley
Intellectuals ... regard over-simplification as the original sin of the mind and have no use for the slogans, the unqualified assertions and sweeping generalizations.
Aldous Huxley
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
Civilization is sterilization.
Aldous Huxley
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it. If we fail to do our share, but rather choose to rely on self-will and self-direction, we shall not only get no help from the graces bestowed on us, we shall actually make it impossible for further graces to be given.
Aldous Huxley
