We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.
