Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.
Aldous Huxley
I've never discussed my writing with others much, but I don't believe it can do any harm. I don't think that there's any risk that ideas or materials will evaporate.
Aldous Huxley
In regard to man's final end, all the higher religions are in complete agreement. The purpose of human life is the discovery of Truth, the unitive knowledge of the Godhead.
Aldous Huxley
Reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays.
Aldous Huxley
People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is - just be a little kinder.
Aldous Huxley
It is natural to believe in God when you're alone-- quite alone, in the night, thinking about death.
Aldous Huxley
Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery.
Aldous Huxley
The gods are just. No doubt. But their code of law is dictated, in the last resort, by the people who organize society Providence takes its cue from men.
