Home, home -- a few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by a rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space an understerilized prison darkness, disease, and smells.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Successfully (whatever that may mean) or unsuccessfully, we all overact the part of our favorite character in fiction.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
Aldous Huxley
