Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Aldous Huxley

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
The Alexander Technique gives us all things we have been looking for in a system of physical education: relief from strain due to maladjustment, and constant improvement in physical and mental health. We cannot ask for more from any system nor, if we seriously desire to alter human beings in a desirable direction, can we ask for any less.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To associate with other like-minded people in small, purposeful groups is for the great majority of men and women a source of profound psychological satisfaction. Exclusiveness will add to the pleasure of being several, but at one and secrecy will intensify it almost to ecstasy.
Aldous Huxley

My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.
Aldous Huxley

The advertisement is one of the most interesting and difficult of modern literary forms.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
By comparison with a night-club, churches are positively gay.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Contemplation is that condition of alert passivity, in which the soul lays itself open to the divine Ground within and without, the immanent and transcendent Godhead.
Aldous Huxley
