More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love - almost as violent and much more mischievous.
Aldous Huxley
Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations.
Aldous Huxley
The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
Aldous Huxley
I was not looking now at an unusual flower arrangement. I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation - the miracle, moment by moment, of naked existence.
Aldous Huxley
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
Aldous Huxley
Lying in bed, he would think of Heaven and London.
Aldous Huxley
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
I don't think there is any incompatibility between science and mysticism . . . Immanent religion is the only form of religion in which there is no conflict at all, that I can see, between science and religion.
Aldous Huxley
Indifference to all the refinements of life--it's really shocking. Just Calvinism, that's all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin's theology.
Aldous Huxley
Primroses and landscapes, he pointed out, have one grave defect: they are gratuitous. A love of nature keeps no factories busy. It was decided to abolish the love of nature, at any rate among the lower classes. . . . it was essential that they should keep on going to the country, even though they hated it.
Aldous Huxley
The trouble with fiction, said John Rivers, is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense.
Aldous Huxley
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
Deprived of their newspapers or a novel, reading-addicts will fall back onto cookery books, on the literature which is wrapped around bottles of patent medicine, on those instructions for keeping the contents crisp which are printed on the outside of boxes of breakfast cereals. On anything.
Aldous Huxley
Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt.
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
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is like coke — something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else.
Aldous Huxley
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
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
A million million spermatozoa, All of them alive: Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah Dare hope to survive.
