It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All urbanization, pushed beyond a certain point, automatically becomes suburbanization.... Every great city is just a collection of suburbs. Its inhabitantsdo not live in their city they merely inhabit it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
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
Image
I met, not long ago, a young man who aspired to become a novelist. Knowing that I was in the profession, he asked me to tell him how he should set to work to realize his ambition. I did my best to explain. 'The first thing,' I said, 'is to buy quite a lot of paper, a bottle of ink, and a pen. After that you merely have to write.'

Aldous Huxley
Image
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
Aldous Huxley
Image
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But then people don't read literature in order to understand they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.
Aldous Huxley

Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Contemplation is that condition of alert passivity, in which the soul lays itself open to the divine Ground within and without, the immanent and transcendent Godhead.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Chastity - the most unnatural of all the sexual perversions.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Industrialization is the systemic exploitation of wasting assets. In all too many cases, the thing we call progress is merely an acceleration in the rate of that exploitation.

No social stability without individual stability.
Aldous Huxley

...we were back at home, and I had returned to that reassuring but profoundly unsatisfactory state known as 'being in one's right mind.
