Aldous Huxley
Image
What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within!
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
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
To his dog, every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.
