More quotes by Aldous Huxley
Ultimate Reality is not clearly and immediately apprehended except by those who have made themselves loving, pure in heart and poor in spirit.
Aldous Huxley
Only one more indispensable massacre of Capitalists or Communists or Fascists or Christians or Heretics, and there we are in the Golden Future.
Aldous Huxley
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
There are many kinds of gods. Therefore there are many kinds of men.
Aldous Huxley
Dying is almost the least spiritual of our acts, more strictly carnal even than the act of love. There are Death Agonies that are like the strainings of the Costive at stool.
Aldous Huxley
Reality cannot be ignored except at a price and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.
Aldous Huxley
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley
Beware of being too rational. In the country of the insane, the integrated man doesn't become king. He gets lynched.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
In actual life a downward movement may sometimes be made the beginning of an ascent.
Aldous Huxley
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.
Aldous Huxley
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous Huxley
The leech's kiss, the squid's embrace, The prurient ape's defiling touch: And do you like the human race? No, not much.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, no matter how utopian, seems to be something people need to frequently take a holiday from.
Aldous Huxley
If one is not oneself a sage or saint, the best thing one can do is to study the words of those who were.
Aldous Huxley
Hell is the incapacity to be other than the creature one finds oneself ordinarily behaving as.
Aldous Huxley
War is often described as a law of nature-this is not true: Among the lower animals, war is unknown.
Aldous Huxley
Dream in a pragmatic way.
Aldous Huxley
Nothing — the only perfection, the only absolute. Infinite and eternal nothing.
Aldous Huxley
