One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When truth is nothing but truth, it's unnatural, it's an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Cant is always rather nauseating but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Experience is not what happens to you it's what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.
Aldous Huxley

Men make use of their illnesses at least as much as they are made use of by them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley

No holiday is ever anything but a disappointment.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The only truly consistent are the dead.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It is only when it takes the form of physical addiction that sex is evil. It is also evil when it manifests itself as a way of satisfying the lust for power or the climber's craving for position and social distinction.
Aldous Huxley
