More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Culture is like the sum of special knowledge that accumulates in any large united family and is the common property of all its members. When we of the great Culture Family meet, we exchange reminiscences about Grandfather Homer, and that awful old Dr. Johnson, and Aunt Sappho, and poor Johnny Keats.
Aldous Huxley
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness.
Aldous Huxley
Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.
Aldous Huxley
The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Science and art are only too often a superior kind of dope, possessing this advantage over booze and morphia: that they can be indulged in with a good conscience and with the conviction that, in the process of indulging, one is leading the higher life.
Aldous Huxley
The critics don't interest me because they're concerned with what's past and done, while I'm concerned with what comes next.
Aldous Huxley
The question of the next generation will not be one of how to liberate the masses, but rather, how to make them love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley
God: a gaseous vertebrate.
Aldous Huxley
Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins.
Aldous Huxley
The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
The advertisement is one of the most interesting and difficult of modern literary forms.
Aldous Huxley
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
Aldous Huxley
De Sade is the one completely consistent and thoroughgoing revolutionary of history.
Aldous Huxley
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
