Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
It’s embarrassing to tell you this, but it seems to come down mostly to just learning to be kinder.
Aldous Huxley
The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be.
Aldous Huxley
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Aldous Huxley
The social body persists although the component cells may change.
Aldous Huxley
Music is an ocean, but the repertory is hardly even a lake it is a pond.
Aldous Huxley
The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.
Aldous Huxley
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
The more a man knows about himself in relation to every kind of experience, the greater his chance of suddenly, one fine morning, realizing who in fact he is.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
Knowledge is an affair of symbols and is, all too often, a hindrance to wisdom, the uncovering of the self from moment to moment
Aldous Huxley
We are so anxious to achieve some particular end that we never pay attention to the psycho-physical means whereby that end is to be gained. So far as we are concerned, any old means is good enough. But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
he had been making an unsuccessful effort to write something about nothing in particular
Aldous Huxley
The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.
Aldous Huxley
