More quotes by Aldous Huxley
For the born traveller, travelling is a besetting vice. Like other vices, it is imperious, demanding its victim's time, money, energy and the sacrifice of comfort.
Aldous Huxley
We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge
Aldous Huxley
Dedicated to all those who say: I don't have time for analytics or I don't understand analytics.
Aldous Huxley
But every one belongs to every one else
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Happiness is never grand.
Aldous Huxley
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
I don't care where I'm from, nor where I'm going. From hell to hell.
Aldous Huxley
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
It is only when it takes the form of physical addiction that sex is evil. It is also evil when it manifests itself as a way of satisfying the lust for power or the climber's craving for position and social distinction.
Aldous Huxley
If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Animal Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.
Aldous Huxley
I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.
Aldous Huxley
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
Aldous Huxley
The fact that people are shocked is the best proof that they need shocking.
Aldous Huxley
One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies.
Aldous Huxley
Liberties are not given, they are taken.
Aldous Huxley
