More quotes by Aldous Huxley
If you don't gamble, you'll never win.
Aldous Huxley
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley
In life, man proposes, God disposes.
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
When people are suspicious with you, you start being suspicious with them.
Aldous Huxley
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
Aldous Huxley
Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
Indifference to all the refinements of life--it's really shocking. Just Calvinism, that's all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin's theology.
Aldous Huxley
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley
A large city cannot be experientially known its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Aldous Huxley
Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity
Aldous Huxley
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
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
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
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
The critics don't interest me because they're concerned with what's past and done, while I'm concerned with what comes next.
Aldous Huxley
The more a man knows about himself in relation to every kind of experience, the greater his chance of suddenly, one fine morning, realizing who in fact he is.
Aldous Huxley
