Successfully (whatever that may mean) or unsuccessfully, we all overact the part of our favorite character in fiction.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Science is not enough, religion is not enough, art is not enough, politics and economics are not enough, nor is love, nor is duty, nor is action however disinterested, nor, however sublime, is contemplation. Nothing short of everything, will really do.
Aldous Huxley

...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends correspondingly to increase. And the dictator will do well to encourage that freedom...it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To be a fool at the right time is also an art.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
