More quotes by Aldous Huxley
I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.
Aldous Huxley
To those who think that liberty is a good thing, and that it may someday be possible for people to live in a society fit for free, fully human individuals, a thorough education in the nature of language, its uses and abuses, seems indispensable.
Aldous Huxley
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'
Aldous Huxley
No social stability without individual stability.
Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
Aldous Huxley
Everybody strains after happiness, and the result is that nobody's happy.
Aldous Huxley
Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
Universal education has created an immense class of what I may call the New Stupid, hungering for certainty yet unable to find it in the traditional myths and their rationalizations.
Aldous Huxley
Only times and places, only names and ghosts.
Aldous Huxley
But the quiet grows and grows. Beautifully and unbearably.
Aldous Huxley
To his dog, every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.
Aldous Huxley
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
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
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends correspondingly to increase. And the dictator will do well to encourage that freedom...it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.
Aldous Huxley
Try LSD, 100mg intramuscular... I thought so.
Aldous Huxley
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
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
Happiness is never grand.
Aldous Huxley
Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science is making such remarkable progress that soon none of us will be well.
Aldous Huxley
