More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Teaching is the last refuge of feeble minds with a classical education.
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
he had been making an unsuccessful effort to write something about nothing in particular
Aldous Huxley
Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born.
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
Aldous Huxley
Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.
Aldous Huxley
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley
The most intractable of our experiences is the experience of Time-the intuition of duration, combined with the thought of perpetual perishing.
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.
Aldous Huxley
The rush to books and universities is like the rush to the public house. People want to drown their realization of the difficulties of living properly in this grotesque contemporary world, they want to forget their own deplorable inefficiency as artists in life.
Aldous Huxley
Since Mozart's day composers have learned the art of making music throatily and palpitatingly sexual.
Aldous Huxley
No social stability without individual stability.
Aldous Huxley
If you want to be a psychological novelist and write about human beings, the best thing you can do is keep a pair of cats.
Aldous Huxley
My fate cannot be mastered it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
Man is hypnotized by the glitter of his own gadgetry
Aldous Huxley
... one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
It's a very salutary thing to realize that the rather dull universe in which most of us spend most of our time is not the only universe there is. I think it's healthy that people should have this experience.
Aldous Huxley
Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.
Aldous Huxley
It takes a certain amount of intelligence and imagination to realize the extraordinary queerness and mysteriousness of the world in which we live.
Aldous Huxley
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. [...] By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable.
Aldous Huxley
