Quote

I've never discussed my writing with others much, but I don't believe it can do any harm. I don't think that there's any risk that ideas or materials will evaporate.

I was born wandering between two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born, and have made, in a curious way, the worst of both.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It isn't a matter of forgetting. What one has to learn is how to remember and yet be free of the past.
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
Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley

Experience teaches only the teachable.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A competent portraitist knows how to imply the profile in the full face.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness: it depends on the force of the current, the height and strength of the barrier. The unchecked stream flows smoothly down its appointed channels into a calm well being.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One of the great attractions of patriotism
Aldous Huxley
Image
Modern man no longer regards Nature as in any sense divine and feels perfectly free to behave toward her as an overweening conqueror and tyrant.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But the quiet grows and grows. Beautifully and unbearably.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Did you ever feel, as though you had something inside you that was only waiting for you to give it a chance to come out? Some sort of extra power that you aren't using - you know, like all the water that goes down the falls instead of through the turbines?

I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.
