Aldous Huxley
Image
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
Aldous Huxley
Image
No social stability without individual stability.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A man who has trained himself in goodness come to have certain direct intuitions about character, about the relations between human beings, about his own position in the world - intuitions that are quite different from the intuitions of the average sensual man.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley

What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within!
Aldous Huxley
Image
But every one belongs to every one else
Aldous Huxley
