Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.

More quotes by Aldous Huxley
A man can smile and smile and be a villain.
Aldous Huxley
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
The optimum population is modeled on the iceberg- eight-ninths below the water line, one-ninth above.
Aldous Huxley
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
Industrial civilization is only possible when there's no self-denial. Self-indulgence up to the very limits imposed by hygiene and economics. Otherwise the wheels stop turning.
Aldous Huxley
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
The best way to find things out is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun - bang it goes
Aldous Huxley
The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be.
Aldous Huxley
Wherever we turn we find that the real obstacles to peace are human will and feeling, human convictions, prejudices, opinions. If we want to get rid of war we must get rid first of all of its psychological causes. Only when this has been done will the rulers of the nations even desire to get rid of the economic and political causes.
Aldous Huxley
The advertisement is one of the most interesting and difficult of modern literary forms.
Aldous Huxley
If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats.
Aldous Huxley
That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
Aldous Huxley
which is better - to be born stupid into an intelligent society or intelligent into an insane one?
Aldous Huxley
Consciousness is only possible through change change is only possible through movement.
Aldous Huxley
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses' beard!
Aldous Huxley
Wild inside raging, writhing—yes, writhing was the word, writhing with desire. But outwardly he was hopelessly tame outwardly—baa, baa, baa.
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
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
Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
