Quote

The investigation of nature is an infinite pasture-ground where all may graze, and where the more bite, the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor, and the more it nourishes.

The indispensible is not necessarily the desirable.
Aldous Huxley
Image
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If humans were in fact the members of a truly social species, and if their individual differences were trifling and could be completely ironed out by appropriate conditioning, then, obviously, there would be no need for liberty and the State would be justified in persecuting the heretics who demanded it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Primroses and landscapes, he pointed out, have one grave defect: they are gratuitous. A love of nature keeps no factories busy. It was decided to abolish the love of nature, at any rate among the lower classes. . . . it was essential that they should keep on going to the country, even though they hated it.

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Individual insanity is immune to the consequences of collective insanity
Aldous Huxley
Image
It isn’t only art that is incompatible with happiness, it’s also science. Science is dangerous, we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Well... ...That's what you always forget, isn't it? I mean, you forget to pay attention to what's happening. And that's the same as not being here and now.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Liberty? Why it doesn't exist. There is no liberty in this world, just gilded cages.
Aldous Huxley
Image
I like being myself. Myself and nasty.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.

By comparison with a night-club, churches are positively gay.

We can't allow science to undo its own good work.
