More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The gods are just. No doubt. But their code of law is dictated, in the last resort, by the people who organize society Providence takes its cue from men.
Aldous Huxley
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
They're old they're about God hundreds of years ago. Not about God now But God doesn't change Men do though
Aldous Huxley
Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe.
Aldous Huxley
Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds-the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.
Aldous Huxley
Let us be kinder to one another.
Aldous Huxley
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.

For the born traveller, travelling is a besetting vice. Like other vices, it is imperious, demanding its victim's time, money, energy and the sacrifice of comfort.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Generalized intelligence and mental alertness are the most powerful enemies of dictatorship and at the same time the basic conditions of effective democracy.
Aldous Huxley
All that happens means something nothing you do is ever insignificant.
Aldous Huxley
It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.
Aldous Huxley
To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.
Aldous Huxley
A physical shortcoming could produce a kind of mental excess. The process, it seemed, was reversible. Mental excess could produce, for its own purposes, the voluntary blindness and deafness of deliberate solitude, the artificial impotence of asceticism.
Aldous Huxley
All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.
Aldous Huxley
Ending is better than mending.
Aldous Huxley
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley
People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it.
Aldous Huxley
Sunsets and death death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is never grand.
Aldous Huxley
