Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
The business of a seer is to see and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.
Aldous Huxley
Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?
Aldous Huxley
God: a gaseous vertebrate.
