Image
We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
I think we have to prepare the mind in one way or another to accept the great uprush or downrush, whichever you like to call it, of the greater non-self.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We live together, we act on, and react to one another but always, and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Nothing short of everything will really do.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The Perennial Philosophy is expressed most succinctly in the Sanskrit formula, tat tvam asi ('That art thou') the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence and the last end of every human being, is to discover the fact for himself, to find out who he really is.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The impulse to cruelty is, in many people, almost as violent as the impulse to sexual love - almost as violent and much more mischievous.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The greatest triumphs of propoganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cleanliness is next to fordliness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Science is not enough, religion is not enough, art is not enough, politics and economics are not enough, nor is love, nor is duty, nor is action however disinterested, nor, however sublime, is contemplation. Nothing short of everything, will really do.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I have spoken so far only of the blissful visionary experience? But visionary experience is not always blissful. It's sometimes terrible. There is hell as well as heaven.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it. If we fail to do our share, but rather choose to rely on self-will and self-direction, we shall not only get no help from the graces bestowed on us, we shall actually make it impossible for further graces to be given.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I write everything many times over. All my thoughts are second thoughts.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A majority of young people seem to develop mental arteriosclerosis forty years before they get the physical kind.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe.
Aldous Huxley
