Aldous Huxley
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what is that but magic? And, may I add, what is that but literature?
Aldous Huxley
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
Aldous Huxley
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
