Aldous Huxley
There is no bad day that can’t be overcome by listening to a barbershop quartet. This is just truth, plain and simple.
Aldous Huxley
The natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
Aldous Huxley
The sum of evil, Pascal remarked, would be much diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms.
Aldous Huxley
God in the safe and Ford on the shelves.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
In actual life a downward movement may sometimes be made the beginning of an ascent.
Aldous Huxley
Experience is not what happens to a man it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves.
Aldous Huxley
The more stitches, the less riches.
Aldous Huxley
No man ever dared to manifest his boredom so insolently as does a Siamese tomcat when he yawns in the face of his amorously importunate wife.
Aldous Huxley
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments.
Aldous Huxley
Ultimate Reality is not clearly and immediately apprehended except by those who have made themselves loving, pure in heart and poor in spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.
Aldous Huxley
A physical shortcoming could produce a kind of mental excess. The process, it seemed, was reversible. Mental excess could produce, for its own purposes, the voluntary blindness and deafness of deliberate solitude, the artificial impotence of asceticism.
Aldous Huxley
which is better - to be born stupid into an intelligent society or intelligent into an insane one?
Aldous Huxley
