The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Being cared for when one is dead is less satisfactory than being cared for when one is alive.
Aldous Huxley
Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very beginning that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and in the country around it. Rub it in.
Aldous Huxley
Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.
Aldous Huxley
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
Suddenly to realise that one is sitting, damned, among the other damned--it is a most disquieting experience so disquieting thatmost of us react to it by immediately plunging more deeply into our particular damnation in the hope, generally realized, that we may be able, at least for a time, to stifle our revolutionary knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
Blood of the world, time staunchless flows The wound is mortal and is mine.
Aldous Huxley
Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.
Aldous Huxley
The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Successfully (whatever that may mean) or unsuccessfully, we all overact the part of our favorite character in fiction.
Aldous Huxley
This really revolutionary revolution is to be achieved, not in the external world, but in the souls and flesh of human beings.
Aldous Huxley
In religion all words are dirty words. Anybody who gets eloquent about Buddha, or God, or Christ, ought to have his mouth washed out with carbolic soap.
Aldous Huxley
The instinct of acquisitiveness has more perverts, I believe, than the instinct of sex. At any rate, people seem to me odder about money than about even their amours.
Aldous Huxley
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded it is supposed to be one-pointed - a compass, not a weathercock.
Aldous Huxley
The most intractable of our experiences is the experience of Time-the intuition of duration, combined with the thought of perpetual perishing.
Aldous Huxley
For in spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody.
Aldous Huxley
God: a gaseous vertebrate.
Aldous Huxley
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Aldous Huxley
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
It is in the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will to Order becomes really dangerous.
Aldous Huxley
