More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Asceticism, it is evident, has a double motivation. If men and women torment their bodies, it is not only because they hope in this way to atone for past sins and avoid future punishments it is also because they long to visit the mind's antipodes and do some visionary sightseeing.
Aldous Huxley
Good is that which makes for unity. Evil is that which makes for separateness.
Aldous Huxley
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol none of their defects.
Aldous Huxley
The more stitches, the less riches.
Aldous Huxley
Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.
Aldous Huxley
This growing poverty in the midst of growing population constitutes a permanent menace to peace. And not only to peace, but also to democratic institutions and personal liberty For overpopulation is not compatible with freedom.
Aldous Huxley
The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray.
Aldous Huxley
Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy with ideology, to have wars because of words, to have tomorrow's misdeeds out of yesterday's miscreeds?
Aldous Huxley
Everybody strains after happiness, and the result is that nobody's happy.
Aldous Huxley
The gods are just. No doubt. But their code of law is dictated, in the last resort, by the people who organize society Providence takes its cue from men.
Aldous Huxley
