More quotes by Aldous Huxley
A man can smile and smile and be a villain.
Aldous Huxley
If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats.
Aldous Huxley
When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating habits, recognize the signs that you're out of harmony with intention.
Aldous Huxley
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
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
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
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.
Aldous Huxley
Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
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
Indifference to all the refinements of life--it's really shocking. Just Calvinism, that's all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin's theology.
Aldous Huxley
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley
Henri IV's feet and armpits enjoyed an international reputation.
Aldous Huxley
Love casts out fear but conversely fear casts out love. And not only love. Fear also casts out intelligence, casts out goodness, casts out all thought of beauty and truth.
Aldous Huxley
I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
A gramme is better than a damn.
Aldous Huxley
The advertisement is one of the most interesting and difficult of modern literary forms.
Aldous Huxley
There are many kinds of gods. Therefore there are many kinds of men.
Aldous Huxley
