More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Aldous Huxley
The old idea that words possess magical powers is false but its falsity is the distortion of a very important truth. Words do have a magical effect - but not in the way that magicians supposed, and not on the objects they were trying to influence. Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.
Aldous Huxley
We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability.
Aldous Huxley
I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.
Aldous Huxley
Successfully (whatever that may mean) or unsuccessfully, we all overact the part of our favorite character in fiction.
Aldous Huxley
All of us desire a better state of society. But society cannot become better before two great tasks are performed.Unless peace can be firmly established and the prevailing obsession with money and power profoundly modified, there is no hope of any desirable change being made.
Aldous Huxley
For the first time in the history of the world, Buddhism proclaimed a salvation which each individual could gain from him or herself, in this world, during this life, without any least reference to God, or to gods either great or small.
Aldous Huxley
Every gain made by individuals or society is almost instantly taken for granted.
Aldous Huxley
A man may have strong humanitarian and democratic principles, but if he happens to have been brought up as a bath-taking, shirt-changing lover of fresh air, he will have to overcome certain physical repugnance before he can bring himself to put those principles into practice.
Aldous Huxley
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Aldous Huxley
A gramme is better than a damn.
Aldous Huxley
If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Aldous Huxley
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
The social body persists although the component cells may change.
Aldous Huxley
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley
In real life there is no such person as the average man.
Aldous Huxley
If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
Aldous Huxley
Compared with that of Taoists and Far Eastern Buddhists, the Christian attitude toward Nature has been curiously insensitive and often downright domineering and violent. Taking their cue from an unfortunate remark in Genesis, Catholic moralists have regarded animals as mere things which men do right to regard for their own ends. . . .
Aldous Huxley
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
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
