Image
Deprived of their newspapers or a novel, reading-addicts will fall back onto cookery books, on the literature which is wrapped around bottles of patent medicine, on those instructions for keeping the contents crisp which are printed on the outside of boxes of breakfast cereals. On anything.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I think we have to prepare the mind in one way or another to accept the great uprush or downrush, whichever you like to call it, of the greater non-self.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I dread the inevitable acceleration of American world domination which will be the result of it all...Europe will no longer be Europe.
Aldous Huxley

When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
Image
A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Assemble a mob of men and women previously conditioned by a daily reading of the newspapers treat them to amplified band music, bright lights...and in next to no time you can reduce them to a state of almost mindless subhumanity. Never before have so few been in a position to make fools, maniacs, or criminals of so many.
Aldous Huxley
Image
This growing poverty in the midst of growing population constitutes a permanent menace to peace. And not only to peace, but also to democratic institutions and personal liberty For overpopulation is not compatible with freedom.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I've never discussed my writing with others much, but I don't believe it can do any harm. I don't think that there's any risk that ideas or materials will evaporate.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One right-thinking man thinks like all other right-thinking men of his time that is to say, in most cases, like some wrong-thinking man of another time.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Ending is better than mending.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.
Aldous Huxley
Image
This really revolutionary revolution is to be achieved, not in the external world, but in the souls and flesh of human beings.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
And what strange voices they have! Sometimes like the complaining of small children sometimes like the noise of lambs.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The best way to find things out is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun - bang it goes
Aldous Huxley

I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
