More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.
Aldous Huxley
Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous Huxley
Try LSD, 100mg intramuscular... I thought so.
Aldous Huxley
Blood of the world, time staunchless flows The wound is mortal and is mine.
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is an affair of symbols and is, all too often, a hindrance to wisdom, the uncovering of the self from moment to moment
Aldous Huxley
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
Societies are composed of individuals and are good only insofar as they help individuals to realize their potentialities and to lead a happy and creative life.
Aldous Huxley
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
life is short and information endless: nobody has time for everything
Aldous Huxley
So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.
Aldous Huxley
All right then, said the Savage defiantly, I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
Feasts must be solemn and rare, or else they cease to be feasts.
Aldous Huxley
Such prosperity as we have known it up to the present is the consequence of rapidly spending the planet's irreplaceable capital.
Aldous Huxley
In real life there is no such person as the average man.
Aldous Huxley
The social body persists although the component cells may change.
Aldous Huxley
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it. If we fail to do our share, but rather choose to rely on self-will and self-direction, we shall not only get no help from the graces bestowed on us, we shall actually make it impossible for further graces to be given.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
Aldous Huxley
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body.
Aldous Huxley
