More quotes by Aldous Huxley
I met, not long ago, a young man who aspired to become a novelist. Knowing that I was in the profession, he asked me to tell him how he should set to work to realize his ambition. I did my best to explain. 'The first thing,' I said, 'is to buy quite a lot of paper, a bottle of ink, and a pen. After that you merely have to write.'
Aldous Huxley
...two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.
Aldous Huxley
he had been making an unsuccessful effort to write something about nothing in particular
Aldous Huxley
...it is not what one has experienced but what one does with what one has experienced that matters.
Aldous Huxley
The natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated by orgies.
Aldous Huxley
What wonder, then, if human beings in their search for the divine have generally preferred to look within!
Aldous Huxley
People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!
Aldous Huxley
Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.
Aldous Huxley
We are so anxious to achieve some particular end that we never pay attention to the psycho-physical means whereby that end is to be gained. So far as we are concerned, any old means is good enough. But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley
This growing poverty in the midst of growing population constitutes a permanent menace to peace. And not only to peace, but also to democratic institutions and personal liberty For overpopulation is not compatible with freedom.
Aldous Huxley
In the contexts of religion and politics, words are not regarded as standing, rather inadequately, for things and events on the contrary things and events are regarded as particular illustrations of words.
Aldous Huxley
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
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
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
Aldous Huxley
Of course the Dharma-body of the Buddha was the hedge at the bottom of the garden. At the same time, and no less obviously, it was these flowers, it was anything that I - or rather the blessed Not-I - cared to look at.
Aldous Huxley
The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything
Aldous Huxley
But then every man is ludicrous if you look at him from outside, without taking into account what’s going on in his heart and mind.
Aldous Huxley
I am I, and I wish I weren't.
Aldous Huxley
Liberty? Why it doesn't exist. There is no liberty in this world, just gilded cages.
Aldous Huxley
