More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The survival of democracy depends on the ability of large numbers of people to make realistic choices in the light of adequate information.
Aldous Huxley
In religion all words are dirty words. Anybody who gets eloquent about Buddha, or God, or Christ, ought to have his mouth washed out with carbolic soap.
Aldous Huxley
To be enlightened is to be aware, always, of total reality in its immanent otherness - to be aware of it and yet remain in a condition to survive as an animal. Our goal is to discover that we have always been where we ought to be. Unhappily we make the task exceedingly difficult for ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
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
Science in itself is morally neutral it becomes good or evil according as it is applied.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
Aldous Huxley
A mind that has come to the stillness of wisdom shall know being, shall know what it is to love. Love is neither personal nor impersonal. Love is love, not to be defined or described by the mind as exclusive or inclusive. Love is its own eternity it is the real, the supreme, the immeasurable.
Aldous Huxley
Man is unique in organizing the mass murder of his own species.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, no matter how utopian, seems to be something people need to frequently take a holiday from.
Aldous Huxley
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.
Aldous Huxley
When one individual comes into intimate contact with another, she—or he, of course, as the case may be—must almost inevitably receive or inflict suffering.
Aldous Huxley
The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy their second worst enemy is total efficiency.
Aldous Huxley
Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born.
Aldous Huxley
Experience is not what happens to you it's what you do with what happens to you.
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
