More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements. Why is this so? Because their elders, even in the democratic countries, do not want them to be given this kind of education.
Aldous Huxley
If we evolved a race of Isaac Newtons, that would not be progress. For the price Newton had to pay for being a supreme intellect was that he was incapable of friendship, love, fatherhood, and many other desirable things. As a man he was a failure as a monster he was superb.
Aldous Huxley
Love is as necessary to human beings as food and shelter [but] without intelligence, ... love is impotent and freedom unattainable.
Aldous Huxley
It is natural to believe in God when you're alone-- quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
Aldous Huxley
I ate civilization. It poisoned me I was defiled. And then, he added in a lower tone, I ate my own wickedness.
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
The Christian idea of a perfect heaven that is something other than a non-existence is a contradiction in terms.
Aldous Huxley
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
Aldous Huxley
Societies are composed of individuals and are good only insofar as they help individuals to realize their potentialities and to lead a happy and creative life.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience.
Aldous Huxley
People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
Aldous Huxley
Champagne had the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife.
Aldous Huxley
Religion is always a patron of the arts, but its taste is by no means impeccable.
Aldous Huxley
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
Industrialization is the systemic exploitation of wasting assets. In all too many cases, the thing we call progress is merely an acceleration in the rate of that exploitation.
Aldous Huxley
Man must learn to simplify, but not to the point of falsification.
Aldous Huxley
Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right
Aldous Huxley
When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.
Aldous Huxley
Democracy can hardly be expected to flourish in societies where political and economic power is being progressively concentrated and centralized. But the progress of technology has led and is still leading to just such a concentration and centralization of power.
Aldous Huxley
