More quotes by Aldous Huxley
The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Aldous Huxley
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
People travel for the same reason as they collect works of art: because the best people do it.
Aldous Huxley
Wild inside raging, writhing—yes, writhing was the word, writhing with desire. But outwardly he was hopelessly tame outwardly—baa, baa, baa.
Aldous Huxley
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Wherever the choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman.
Aldous Huxley
I think that fiction and, as I say, history and biography are immensely important, not only for their own sake, because they provide a picture of life now and of life in the past, but also as vehicles for the expression of general philosophic ideas, religious ideas, social ideas.
Aldous Huxley
Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery.
Aldous Huxley
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences. [Therefore be careful how you interpret your life. Don't think or speak negatively lest your subconscious and others take you at your word and you are hung by your own tongue!]
Aldous Huxley
Pain was a fascinating horror
Aldous Huxley
The flower of the present rosily blossomed.
Aldous Huxley
Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley
