Aldous Huxley
Being cared for when one is dead is less satisfactory than being cared for when one is alive.

I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Aldous Huxley
Jehovah, Allah, the Trinity, Jesus, Buddha, are names for a great variety of human virtues, human mystical experiences, human remorses, human compensatory fantasies, human terrors, human cruelties. If all men were alike, all the world would worship the same God.
Aldous Huxley
At this point we find ourselves confronted by a very disquieting question: Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge?
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
One right-thinking man thinks like all other right-thinking men of his time that is to say, in most cases, like some wrong-thinking man of another time.
Aldous Huxley
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley
Who lives longer? The man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or a man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes 'till 95? One passes his 24 months in eternity. All the years of the beefeater are lived only in time.
Aldous Huxley
People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!
Aldous Huxley
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
I don't think there is any incompatibility between science and mysticism . . . Immanent religion is the only form of religion in which there is no conflict at all, that I can see, between science and religion.
Aldous Huxley
In all activities of life, the secret of efficiency lies in an ability to combine two seemingly incompatible states: a state of maximum activity and a state of maximum relaxation.
Aldous Huxley
Experience teaches only the teachable.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is never grand.
Aldous Huxley
Experience is not what happens to a man it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves.
Aldous Huxley
