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.

More quotes by Aldous Huxley

Image
Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Let us be kinder to one another.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
Image
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.
Aldous Huxley
Image
An irrelevance, and your life's altered.
Aldous Huxley
Image
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Pageantry is a visionary art which has been used, from time immemorial, as a political instrument.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
And what strange voices they have! Sometimes like the complaining of small children sometimes like the noise of lambs.
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
If you want to write, keep cats.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A man can smile and smile and be a villain.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Knowledge is an affair of symbols and is, all too often, a hindrance to wisdom, the uncovering of the self from moment to moment
Aldous Huxley
Image
The Christian idea of a perfect heaven that is something other than a non-existence is a contradiction in terms.
Aldous Huxley
