More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very beginning that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and in the country around it. Rub it in.
Aldous Huxley
Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unshown marble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Aldous Huxley
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
The pleasures of ignorance are as great, in their way, as the pleasures of knowledge.
Aldous Huxley
Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.
Aldous Huxley
Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.
Aldous Huxley
What’s the point of truth or beauty or knowledge when anthrax bombs are popping all around you?
Aldous Huxley
Happiness has got to be paid for. You're paying for it, Mr. Watson–paying because you happen to be too much interested in beauty. I was too much interested in truth I paid too.
Aldous Huxley
In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
Aldous Huxley
A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY.
Aldous Huxley
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
Dedicated to all those who say: I don't have time for analytics or I don't understand analytics.
Aldous Huxley
There was a thing called Heaven but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol.
Aldous Huxley
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
If only people would realize that moral principles are like measles.... They have to be caught. And only the people who've got them can pass on the contagion.
Aldous Huxley
