Aldous Huxley
In real life there is no such person as the average man.
Aldous Huxley
And so, resisting the temptation to wallow in artistic remorse, I prefer to leave both well and ill alone and to think about something else
Aldous Huxley
How difficult it is to sound persuasive at the top of one's voice!
Aldous Huxley
I'm sick. I've eaten civilisation and I'm sick.
