Image
Seated upon the convex mound Of one vast kidney, Jonah prays And sings his canticles and hymns, Making the hollow vault resound God's goodness and mysterious ways, Till the great fish spouts music as he swims.
Aldous Huxley
Image
In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Man is an amphibian who lives simultaneously in two worlds-the given and the home-made, the world of matter, life and consciousness and the world of symbols.
Aldous Huxley
Image
It is delightful to read on the spot the impressions and opinions of tourists who visited a hundred years ago, in the vehicles and with the aesthetic prejudices of the period, the places which you are visiting now. The voyage ceases to be a mere tour through space you travel through time and thought as well.
Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
Don't try to behave as though you were essentially sane and naturally good. We're all demented sinners in the same cosmic boat - and the boat is perpetually sinking.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol none of their defects.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Peace is a necessary condition of spirituality, no less than an inevitable result of it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
Aldous Huxley
Image
We shall be permitted to live on this planet only for as long as we treat all nature with compassion and intelligence.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Craving for power is not a vice of the body, consequently it knows none of the limitations imposed by a tired or satiated physiology upon gluttony, intemperance and lust
Aldous Huxley
Image
Such prosperity as we have known it up to the present is the consequence of rapidly spending the planet's irreplaceable capital.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences. [Therefore be careful how you interpret your life. Don't think or speak negatively lest your subconscious and others take you at your word and you are hung by your own tongue!]
Aldous Huxley
Image
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
