More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Somewhere in the rain, there will always be an abandoned dog that prevents you from being happy.
Aldous Huxley
That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley
The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Science is not enough, religion is not enough, art is not enough, politics and economics are not enough, nor is love, nor is duty, nor is action however disinterested, nor, however sublime, is contemplation. Nothing short of everything, will really do.
Aldous Huxley
If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay - in solid cash - the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
Aldous Huxley
In the world of ideas everything was clear in life all was obscure, embroiled.
Aldous Huxley
And so, resisting the temptation to wallow in artistic remorse, I prefer to leave both well and ill alone and to think about something else
Aldous Huxley
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
Aldous Huxley
To be enlightened is to be aware, always, of total reality in its immanent otherness - to be aware of it and yet remain in a condition to survive as an animal. Our goal is to discover that we have always been where we ought to be. Unhappily we make the task exceedingly difficult for ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
Hinduism the perennial philosophy that is at the core of all religions.
Aldous Huxley
Art is one of the means whereby man seeks to redeem a life which is experienced as chaotic, senseless, and largely evil.
Aldous Huxley
I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.
Aldous Huxley
We live together, we act on, and react to one another but always, and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves.
Aldous Huxley
