More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
Aldous Huxley
Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.
Aldous Huxley
The snapshots had become almost as dim as memories.
Aldous Huxley
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
Aldous Huxley
Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.
Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
Aldous Huxley
Generalities are intellectually necessary evils.
Aldous Huxley
The third petition of the Lord's Prayer is repeated daily by millions who have not the slightest intention of letting anyone's will be done but their own.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
To be a fool at the right time is also an art.
Aldous Huxley
One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.
Aldous Huxley
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
Aldous Huxley
To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who lived, thought, and felt with style.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing short of everything will really do.
Aldous Huxley
The more stitches, the less riches.
Aldous Huxley
An ideal is merely the projection, on an enormously enlarged scale, of some aspect of personality.
Aldous Huxley
