More quotes by Aldous Huxley
But that's the price we have to pay for stability. You've got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. We've sacrificed the high art.
Aldous Huxley
The vast majority of human beings are not interested in reason or satisfied with what it teaches.
Aldous Huxley
It is delightful to read on the spot the impressions and opinions of tourists who visited a hundred years ago, in the vehicles and with the aesthetic prejudices of the period, the places which you are visiting now. The voyage ceases to be a mere tour through space you travel through time and thought as well.
Aldous Huxley
Facts are ventriloquist’s dummies. Sitting on a wise man’s knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.
Aldous Huxley
As late as the seventeenth century, monarchs owned so little furniture that they had to travel from palace to palace with wagon-loads of plate and bedspreads, of carpets and tapestries.
Aldous Huxley
Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
The snapshots had become almost as dim as memories.
Aldous Huxley
From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.
Aldous Huxley
Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals it cannot be mass-produced.
Aldous Huxley
Europe is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
Aldous Huxley
Modern man's besetting temptation is to sacrifice his direct perceptions and spontaneous feelings to his reasoned reflections to prefer in all circumstances the verdict of his intellect to that of his immediate intuitions.
Aldous Huxley
On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
Aldous Huxley
I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.
Aldous Huxley
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley
There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
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
The flower of the present rosily blossomed.
Aldous Huxley
Universal education has created an immense class of what I may call the New Stupid, hungering for certainty yet unable to find it in the traditional myths and their rationalizations.
Aldous Huxley
God in the safe and Ford on the shelves.
Aldous Huxley
How difficult it is to sound persuasive at the top of one's voice!
Aldous Huxley
