Quote

Of course the Dharma-body of the Buddha was the hedge at the bottom of the garden. At the same time, and no less obviously, it was these flowers, it was anything that I - or rather the blessed Not-I - cared to look at.

Image
In actual life a downward movement may sometimes be made the beginning of an ascent.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I am ignorant and impotent and yet, somehow or other, here I am, unhappy, no doubt, profoundly dissatisfied ... In spite of everything I survive.
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
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody. The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of the individual soul and body. Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An irrelevance, and your life's altered.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Image
For every traveller who has any taste of his own, the only useful guidebook will be the one which he himself has written.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words are magical in the way they affect the minds of those who use them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sunsets and death death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In any race between human numbers and natural resources, time is against us.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cant is always rather nauseating but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Aldous Huxley

The social body persists although the component cells may change.

Given a fair chance, human beings can govern themselves, and govern themselves better
