Maybe this world is another planet's Hell.
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
If you want to write, keep cats.

To travel is to discover that everybody is wrong. The philosophies, the civilizations which seem, at a distance, so superior to those current at home, all prove on a close inspection to be in their own way just as hopelessly imperfect.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Folly is often more cruel in the consequences than malice can be in the intent.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Jehovah, Allah, the Trinity, Jesus, Buddha, are names for a great variety of human virtues, human mystical experiences, human remorses, human compensatory fantasies, human terrors, human cruelties. If all men were alike, all the world would worship the same God.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt.
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
Image
Man must learn to simplify, but not to the point of falsification.
Aldous Huxley
