More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
I'd rather be myself, he said. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.
Aldous Huxley
Who lives longer? The man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or a man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes 'till 95? One passes his 24 months in eternity. All the years of the beefeater are lived only in time.
Aldous Huxley
The leech's kiss, the squid's embrace, The prurient ape's defiling touch: And do you like the human race? No, not much.
Aldous Huxley
Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Aldous Huxley
Modern man no longer regards Nature as in any sense divine and feels perfectly free to behave toward her as an overweening conqueror and tyrant.
Aldous Huxley
What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.
Aldous Huxley
What’s the point of truth or beauty or knowledge when anthrax bombs are popping all around you?
Aldous Huxley
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley
