More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Image
Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The lion will lay down with the lamb...but every morning they'll have to provide a new lamb. Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Never have so many been manipulated so much by so few.
Aldous Huxley
Image
You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford's: History is bunk.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Oh, how desperately bored, in spite of their grim determination to have a Good Time, the majority of pleasure-seekers really are!

Aldous Huxley
Image
Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The instinct of acquisitiveness has more perverts, I believe, than the instinct of sex. At any rate, people seem to me odder about money than about even their amours.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cant is always rather nauseating but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
Aldous Huxley
Image
Since Mozart's day composers have learned the art of making music throatily and palpitatingly sexual.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When the individual feels, the community reels.
Aldous Huxley
Image
On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
