More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Liberate yourselves from everything you know and look with complete innocence at this infinitely improbable thing before you.
Aldous Huxley
Craving for power is not a vice of the body, consequently it knows none of the limitations imposed by a tired or satiated physiology upon gluttony, intemperance and lust
Aldous Huxley
We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability.
Aldous Huxley
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
Aldous Huxley
A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY.
Aldous Huxley
Love is as necessary to human beings as food and shelter [but] without intelligence, ... love is impotent and freedom unattainable.
Aldous Huxley
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
Aldous Huxley
After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one's mind one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
Wherever we turn we find that the real obstacles to peace are human will and feeling, human convictions, prejudices, opinions. If we want to get rid of war we must get rid first of all of its psychological causes. Only when this has been done will the rulers of the nations even desire to get rid of the economic and political causes.
Aldous Huxley
One thinks one's something unique and wonderful at the center of the universe, when in fact one's just a slight interruption in the ongoing march of entropy.
Aldous Huxley
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
Aldous Huxley
Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.
Aldous Huxley
It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience.
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
Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?
Aldous Huxley
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.
Aldous Huxley
[...] Technology has tended to devaluate the traditional vision-inducing materials. The illumination of a city, for example, was once a rare event, reserved for victories and national holidays, for the canonization of saints and the crowning of kings. Now it occurs nightly and celebrates the virtues of gin, cigarettes and toothpaste.
Aldous Huxley
