More quotes by Aldous Huxley
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley
The thing that impresses me most about this country is its hopefulness. It is this which distinguishes it from Europe, where there is hopeless depression and fear.
Aldous Huxley
Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.
Aldous Huxley
I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world.
Aldous Huxley
Can we unite against ourselves for our own higher interest?
Aldous Huxley
We live together, we act on, and react to one another but always, and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
A love of nature keeps no factories busy.
Aldous Huxley
The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
Aldous Huxley
Two hours. One hundred and twenty minutes. Anything might be done in that time. Anything. Nothing. Oh, he had had hundreds of hours, and what had he done with them? Wasted them, spilt the precious minutes as though his reservoir were inexhaustible.
Aldous Huxley
It is in the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will to Order becomes really dangerous.
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
I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.
Aldous Huxley
The self is coming from a state of pure awareness from the state of being. All the rest that comes about in a outward manifesation of the physical world, including fluctuations which end up as thoughts and actions
Aldous Huxley
I'm sick. I've eaten civilisation and I'm sick.
Aldous Huxley
It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science is making such remarkable progress that soon none of us will be well.
Aldous Huxley
