Pageantry is a visionary art which has been used, from time immemorial, as a political instrument.
Aldous Huxley

Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.
Aldous Huxley

For what we think and feel and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and our viscera.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Modern man's besetting temptation is to sacrifice his direct perceptions and spontaneous feelings to his reasoned reflections to prefer in all circumstances the verdict of his intellect to that of his immediate intuitions.
Aldous Huxley

In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
