More quotes by Aldous Huxley
For every traveller who has any taste of his own, the only useful guidebook will be the one which he himself has written.
Aldous Huxley
The horror no less than the charm of real life consists precisely in the recurrent actualization of the inconceivable
Aldous Huxley
The sum of evil, Pascal remarked, would be much diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms.
Aldous Huxley
Religion is always a patron of the arts, but its taste is by no means impeccable.
Aldous Huxley
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
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm.
Aldous Huxley
The goal in life is to discover that you’ve always been where you were supposed to be.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Never have so many been manipulated so much by so few.
Aldous Huxley
Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. Idiots!
Aldous Huxley
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.
Aldous Huxley
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, no matter how utopian, seems to be something people need to frequently take a holiday from.
Aldous Huxley
How difficult it is to sound persuasive at the top of one's voice!
Aldous Huxley
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley
The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what is that but magic? And, may I add, what is that but literature?
Aldous Huxley
What the rest of us see only under the influence of mescalin, the artist is congenitally equipped to see all the time.
Aldous Huxley
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation.
Aldous Huxley
Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.
Aldous Huxley
