More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Image
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One thinks one's something unique and wonderful at the center of the universe, when in fact one's just a slight interruption in the ongoing march of entropy.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who lived, thought, and felt with style.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The only consistent people are the dead
Aldous Huxley
Image
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Hug me till you drug me, honey Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Aldous Huxley
Image
...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man must learn to simplify, but not to the point of falsification.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Results only come to those who master the paradoxical art of doing and not doing, of letting go as a person in order that the immanent and transcendent unknown quantity may take hold. We cannot make ourselves understand the most we can do is to foster a state of mind in which understanding may come to us.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
Image
And so, resisting the temptation to wallow in artistic remorse, I prefer to leave both well and ill alone and to think about something else
Aldous Huxley
Image
It’s embarrassing to tell you this, but it seems to come down mostly to just learning to be kinder.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability.
Aldous Huxley
