More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Dream in a pragmatic way.
Aldous Huxley
To talk about religion except in terms of human psychology is an irrelevance.
Aldous Huxley
Hitler's vast propaganda successes were accomplished with little more than the radio and loudspeaker, and without TV and tape and video recording . . . Today the art of mind control is in the process of becoming a science.
Aldous Huxley
Real progress is progress in charity, all other advances being secondary thereto.
Aldous Huxley
Home, home -- a few small rooms, stiflingly over-inhabited by a man, by a periodically teeming woman, by a rabble of boys and girls of all ages. No air, no space an understerilized prison darkness, disease, and smells.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing short of everything will really do.
Aldous Huxley
A physical shortcoming could produce a kind of mental excess. The process, it seemed, was reversible. Mental excess could produce, for its own purposes, the voluntary blindness and deafness of deliberate solitude, the artificial impotence of asceticism.
Aldous Huxley
It is only when it takes the form of physical addiction that sex is evil. It is also evil when it manifests itself as a way of satisfying the lust for power or the climber's craving for position and social distinction.
Aldous Huxley
My sympathies are, of course, with the Government side, especially the Anarchists for Anarchism seems to me more likely to lead to desirable social change than highly centralized, dictatorial Communism .
Aldous Huxley
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
If one is not oneself a sage or saint, the best thing one can do is to study the words of those who were.
Aldous Huxley
Dinted dimpled wimpled-his mind wandered down echoing corridors of assonance and alliteration ever further and further from the point. He was enamoured with the beauty of words.
Aldous Huxley
We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness it is generally the by-product of other activities.
Aldous Huxley
The condition of being forgiven is self-abandonment. The proud man prefers self-reproach, however painful --because the reproached self isn't abandoned it remains intact.
Aldous Huxley
Experience is not what happens to you it's what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.
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
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley
