The lunatic fringe is more like a Spanish shawl, where the fringe makes up the entire garment.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Everyone thinks this way at some point. The important thing is to power through and get to learning. If you really don't have the time Let Me Handle Your Analytics.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To aspire to be superhuman is a most discreditable admission that you lack the guts, the wit, the moderating judgment to be successfully and consummately human.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We now spend a good deal more on drink and smoke than we spend on education. This, of course, is not surprising. The urge to escape from selfhood and the environment is in almost everyone almost all the time.
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.

Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley
