More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.
Aldous Huxley
Only times and places, only names and ghosts.
Aldous Huxley
The nature of power is such that even those who have not sought it, but have had it forced upon them, tend to acquire a taste for more.
Aldous Huxley
Wherever the choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman.
Aldous Huxley
I write everything many times over. All my thoughts are second thoughts.
Aldous Huxley
The Alexander Technique gives us all things we have been looking for in a system of physical education: relief from strain due to maladjustment, and constant improvement in physical and mental health. We cannot ask for more from any system nor, if we seriously desire to alter human beings in a desirable direction, can we ask for any less.
Aldous Huxley
All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.
Aldous Huxley
It takes a certain amount of intelligence and imagination to realize the extraordinary queerness and mysteriousness of the world in which we live.
Aldous Huxley
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
I like being myself. Myself and nasty.
Aldous Huxley
Reality cannot be ignored except at a price and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.
Aldous Huxley
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.
Aldous Huxley
An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
Aldous Huxley
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
Pully, hauly, tug with a will the gods wiggle waggle, but the sky stands still.
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
... one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
