Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
In the days before machinery men and women who wanted to amuse themselves were compelled, in their humble way, to be artists. Now they sit still and permit professionals to entertain them by the aid of machinery. It is difficult to believe that general artistic culture can flourish in this atmosphere of passivity.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Beware of being too rational. In the country of the insane, the integrated man doesn't become king. He gets lynched.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The vast majority of human beings are not interested in reason or satisfied with what it teaches.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A love of nature keeps no factories busy.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
Aldous Huxley
