Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Sunsets and death death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.
Aldous Huxley
Image

Aldous Huxley
Image
To write fiction, one needs a whole series of inspirations about people in an actual environment, and then a whole lot of work on the basis of those inspirations.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Consciousness is only possible through change change is only possible through movement.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.
Aldous Huxley
Image
We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All we can do is to learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable way.
Aldous Huxley
Image
...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right
Aldous Huxley
Image
There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.
Aldous Huxley
Image
At this point we find ourselves confronted by a very disquieting question: Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge?

A man can smile and smile and be a villain.
