More quotes by Aldous Huxley
So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.
Aldous Huxley
A type of revolutionary novelty may be extremely beautiful in itself but, for the creatures of habit that we are, its very novelty tends to make it illegible, at any rate to begin with.
Aldous Huxley
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example.
Aldous Huxley
We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.
Aldous Huxley
Medical science is making such remarkable progress that soon none of us will be well.
Aldous Huxley
One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
Aldous Huxley
These are the sort of things people ought to look at. Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves.
Aldous Huxley
The greatest triumphs of propoganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.
Aldous Huxley
Ignore death up to the last moment then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Aldous Huxley
[...] Technology has tended to devaluate the traditional vision-inducing materials. The illumination of a city, for example, was once a rare event, reserved for victories and national holidays, for the canonization of saints and the crowning of kings. Now it occurs nightly and celebrates the virtues of gin, cigarettes and toothpaste.
Aldous Huxley
Can you say something about nothing?
Aldous Huxley
Our kingdom go is the necessary and unavoidable corollary of 'Thy kingdom come.' For the more there is self, the less there is of God. The divine eternal fulness of life can be gained only by those who have deliberately lost the partial, separative life of craving and self-interest, of egocentric thinking, feeling, wishing, and acting.
Aldous Huxley
All that happens means something nothing you do is ever insignificant.
Aldous Huxley
[I am not] the captain of my soul I am only its noisiest passenger.
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 Perennial Philosophy is expressed most succinctly in the Sanskrit formula, tat tvam asi ('That art thou') the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence and the last end of every human being, is to discover the fact for himself, to find out who he really is.
Aldous Huxley
Thought is barred in this City of Dreadful Joy and conversation is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
Generalized intelligence and mental alertness are the most powerful enemies of dictatorship and at the same time the basic conditions of effective democracy.
Aldous Huxley
In spiritual matters, knowledge is dependent upon being as we are, so we know.
Aldous Huxley
