More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Hug me till you drug me, honey Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Aldous Huxley
The old idea that words possess magical powers is false but its falsity is the distortion of a very important truth. Words do have a magical effect - but not in the way that magicians supposed, and not on the objects they were trying to influence. Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.
Aldous Huxley
Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east.
Aldous Huxley
Culture is like the sum of special knowledge that accumulates in any large united family and is the common property of all its members. When we of the great Culture Family meet, we exchange reminiscences about Grandfather Homer, and that awful old Dr. Johnson, and Aunt Sappho, and poor Johnny Keats.
Aldous Huxley
Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying.
Aldous Huxley
If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
Aldous Huxley
A man who has trained himself in goodness come to have certain direct intuitions about character, about the relations between human beings, about his own position in the world - intuitions that are quite different from the intuitions of the average sensual man.
Aldous Huxley
The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.
Aldous Huxley
Experience teaches only the teachable.
Aldous Huxley
All that happens means something nothing you do is ever insignificant.
Aldous Huxley
Beware of being too rational. In the country of the insane, the integrated man doesn't become king. He gets lynched.
Aldous Huxley
Most vices demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful -- if strenuously led -- as Christian's in The Pilgrim's Progress.
Aldous Huxley
One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies.
Aldous Huxley
Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
The critics don't interest me because they're concerned with what's past and done, while I'm concerned with what comes next.
Aldous Huxley
Complete prohibition of all chemical mind changers can be decreed, but cannot be enforced, and tends to create more evils than it cures.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
The more stitches, the less riches.
Aldous Huxley
That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.
Aldous Huxley
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
Aldous Huxley
