More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Aldous Huxley
Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness: it depends on the force of the current, the height and strength of the barrier. The unchecked stream flows smoothly down its appointed channels into a calm well being.
Aldous Huxley
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.
Aldous Huxley
But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.
Aldous Huxley
Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
I dread the inevitable acceleration of American world domination which will be the result of it all...Europe will no longer be Europe.
Aldous Huxley
Everyone thinks this way at some point. The important thing is to power through and get to learning. If you really don't have the time Let Me Handle Your Analytics.
Aldous Huxley
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
Aldous Huxley
It is delightful to read on the spot the impressions and opinions of tourists who visited a hundred years ago, in the vehicles and with the aesthetic prejudices of the period, the places which you are visiting now. The voyage ceases to be a mere tour through space you travel through time and thought as well.
Aldous Huxley
I know very dimly when I start what's going to happen. I just have a very general idea, and then the thing develops as I write.
Aldous Huxley
What’s the point of truth or beauty or knowledge when anthrax bombs are popping all around you?
Aldous Huxley
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Aldous Huxley
Pain was a fascinating horror
Aldous Huxley
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt.
Aldous Huxley
