Aldous Huxley
The question of the next generation will not be one of how to liberate the masses, but rather, how to make them love their servitude.
Aldous Huxley
To aspire to be superhuman is a most discreditable admission that you lack the guts, the wit, the moderating judgment to be successfully and consummately human.
Aldous Huxley
