More quotes by Aldous Huxley
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley
Dedicated to all those who say: I don't have time for analytics or I don't understand analytics.
Aldous Huxley
In life, man proposes, God disposes.
Aldous Huxley
Man's life on earth has only one end and purpose: to identify himself with his eternal Self and so to come to unitive knowledge of the Divine Ground.
Aldous Huxley
Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins.
Aldous Huxley
Wherever the choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman.
Aldous Huxley
Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.
Aldous Huxley
The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
Aldous Huxley
Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east.
Aldous Huxley
I'm pretty good at inventing phrases - you know, the sort of words that suddenly make you jump, almost as though you'd sat on a pin, they seem so new and exciting even though they're about something hypnopaedically* obvious. But that doesn't seem enough. It's not enough for the phrases to be good what you make with them ought to be good too.
Aldous Huxley
It had the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife. (Sebastian Barnack assessing a Roederer 1916 champagne in Time Must Have a Stop)
Aldous Huxley
By comparison with a night-club, churches are positively gay.
Aldous Huxley
Our goal is to discover that we have always been where we ought to be
Aldous Huxley
You've got to be hurt and upset otherwise you can't think of the really good, penetrating, X-rayish phrases.
Aldous Huxley
Those who meant well behaved in the same way as those who meant badly.
Aldous Huxley
I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example.
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
There are many kinds of gods. Therefore there are many kinds of men.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.
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
