Image
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I'd rather be myself, he said. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The ductless glands secrete among other things our moods, our aspirations, our philosophy of life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Only a person with a Best Seller mind can write Best Sellers.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy with ideology, to have wars because of words, to have tomorrow's misdeeds out of yesterday's miscreeds?
Aldous Huxley
Image
People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
Image
No man, however civilized, can listen for very long to African drumming, or Indian chanting, or Welsh hymn singing, and retain intact his critical and self-conscious personality.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Deprived of their newspapers or a novel, reading-addicts will fall back onto cookery books, on the literature which is wrapped around bottles of patent medicine, on those instructions for keeping the contents crisp which are printed on the outside of boxes of breakfast cereals. On anything.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words are good servants but bad masters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
God in the safe and Ford on the shelves.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I don't care where I'm from, nor where I'm going. From hell to hell.
