More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Beware of being too rational. In the country of the insane, the integrated man doesn't become king. He gets lynched.
Aldous Huxley
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Blood of the world, time staunchless flows The wound is mortal and is mine.
Aldous Huxley
Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.
Aldous Huxley
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
Aldous Huxley
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
Aldous Huxley
Science in itself is morally neutral it becomes good or evil according as it is applied.
Aldous Huxley
People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
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
Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.
Aldous Huxley
The only consistent people are the dead
Aldous Huxley
If Men and Women took their Pleasures as noisily as the Cats, what Londoner could ever hope to sleep of nights?
Aldous Huxley
Hitler's vast propaganda successes were accomplished with little more than the radio and loudspeaker, and without TV and tape and video recording . . . Today the art of mind control is in the process of becoming a science.
Aldous Huxley
Democracy can hardly be expected to flourish in societies where political and economic power is being progressively concentrated and centralized. But the progress of technology has led and is still leading to just such a concentration and centralization of power.
Aldous Huxley
Chaos and ineptitude are anti-human but so too is a superlatively efficient government, equipped with all the products of a highly developed technology.
Aldous Huxley
If we must play the theological game, let us never forget that it is a game. Religion, it seems to me, can survive only as a consciously accepted system of make-believe.
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
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Aldous Huxley
