Aldous Huxley
Blood of the world, time staunchless flows The wound is mortal and is mine.
Aldous Huxley
Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.
Aldous Huxley
A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Aldous Huxley
We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge
Aldous Huxley
