More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
Aldous Huxley
And that, put in the Director sententiously, that is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.
Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
Of the significant and pleasurable experiences of life only the simplest are open indiscriminately to all. The rest cannot be had except by those who have undergone a suitable training.
Aldous Huxley
To travel is to discover that everybody is wrong. The philosophies, the civilizations which seem, at a distance, so superior to those current at home, all prove on a close inspection to be in their own way just as hopelessly imperfect.
Aldous Huxley
The proper study of mankind is books.
Aldous Huxley
For particulars, as everyone knows, make for virtue and happiness generalities are intellectually necessary evils. Not philosophers but fretsawyers and stamp collectors compose the backbone of society.
Aldous Huxley
By comparison with a night-club, churches are positively gay.
Aldous Huxley
It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.
Aldous Huxley
Did you eat something that didn't agree with you? asked Bernard. The Savage nodded I ate civilization.
Aldous Huxley
There was a thing called Heaven but all the same they used to drink enormous quantities of alcohol.
Aldous Huxley
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
Aldous Huxley
Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction
Aldous Huxley
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. Finding bad reasons for what one believes for other bad reasons-that's philosophy. People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God.
Aldous Huxley
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
I had to depend on Braille for my reading and guide for my walking...I am now wearing no glasses, reading and all without strain...by taking lessons in seeing...optometrists hate the method.
Aldous Huxley
Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.
Aldous Huxley
If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
Aldous Huxley
Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.
Aldous Huxley
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
